Arsenal are exploring a high-profile summer move for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, with reports indicating the Paris Saint-Germain winger would be open to joining the club, according to The independent
The winger has emerged as a key target for ARSENAL as manager Mikel Arteta prepares for a significant squad reshuffle ahead of the 2026/27 season.
Kvaratskhelia, widely regarded as one of Europe’s most dynamic wide forwards, has impressed since joining Paris Saint-Germain in 2025. His blend of dribbling, creativity and goal threat has made him a standout performer, including notable Champions League displays that have further elevated his reputation.
According to reports, the Georgian international’s representatives are willing to consider a move to the Emirates, even though the player has publicly expressed happiness in Paris. However, any deal is expected to be highly complex, with PSG viewing him as a cornerstone of their long-term project and reluctant to sanction a sale.
Financial considerations could also shape negotiations. ARSENAL are understood to be planning player sales this summer to comply with the Premier League’s evolving Squad Cost Ratio regulations, potentially freeing up funds for a marquee attacking signing.
Kvaratskhelia is seen internally as a player capable of adding a new dimension to *ARSENAL*’s attack, particularly in one-on-one situations and chance creation—areas where Arteta is keen to further strengthen his side.
Who makes way for Kvaratskhelia?
On paper, he is a natural fit for the left wing role, where his tendency to cut inside and create mirrors the profile Arsenal have often relied upon. That would place pressure on Gabriel Martinelli, whose performances have fluctuated, and potentially reduce the role of Leandro Trossard as a rotational option.
Kvaratskhelia’s arrival could also have a tactical ripple effect. His creativity and ball-carrying ability might allow Arsenal to rely less on structured build-up and more on individual brilliance in tight games—something that has occasionally been missing in decisive moments.
However, replacing Martinelli outright would not be a straightforward decision. The Brazilian offers elite pressing and vertical threat, qualities central to Arteta’s system. Dropping him for a more expressive, less defensively intense winger would represent a philosophical shift.
If Arsenal proceed, it signals a move towards prioritising elite attacking flair over system-first balance, with one of their current wide options likely to make way.
