Arsenal make contract offer
Arsenal have reportedly made a move for young Georgian talent Andria Bartishvili.
The Gunners are said to have made a pre-contract offer to the 17-year-old starlet, who has drawn comparisions to his compatriot Khivcha Kvaratskhelia.
The attacking midfielder currently still plies his trade in his home country, and finished the most recent campaign on loan at Iberia 1999, where he made 11 appearances and scored once in the Georgian top flight.
He is contracted to Kolkheti 1913, and has made 17 appearances but not scored for his parent club since breaking onto the scene last year.
