This is not a regular link story, this is groundwork being laid for something big. The winger\u2019s explosive form at Paris Saint-Germain has made him one of the most feared wide players in Europe right now.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" alt=\"Arsenal FC\" class=\"wp-image-188196 ewww_webp_lazy_load\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-141.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-141-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-141-768x432.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-141.jpg\" src-webp=\"https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-141.jpg.webp\" srcset-webp=\"https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-141.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-141-600x338.jpg.webp 600w, https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-141-768x432.jpg.webp 768w\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-141.jpg\" alt=\"Arsenal FC\" class=\"wp-image-188196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-141.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-141-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-141-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>At 25, he is entering the prime years in his football career. The north London side see him as a player who can instantly raise their attacking level. His ability to beat defenders, create space, and deliver in big moments fits perfectly into Mikel Arteta\u2019s system. In addition, he brings unpredictability into the team. This is something the Premier League leaders have lacked at times last season.<\/p>\n<p>Behind the scenes, Arsenal are also preparing for outgoing transfers as well. Selling at least one senior player is being seriously discussed at Emirates. It also opens the door for a high-profile signing to come in.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-psg-hold-firm-as-forward-s-value-rises\">PSG hold firm as forward\u2019s value rises<\/h2>\n<p>While the player\u2019s camp may be open to a move, Luis Enrique\u2019s side are in no mood to negotiate easily. Internally, Kvaratskhelia is seen as the face of their future project.<\/p>\n<p>The Georgian only arrived in January 2024 for a huge fee and his impact has been quick. So, selling him now would send the wrong message. This comes especially after a season where the French side have looked dominant in Europe. The club believes they are building something long-term, and Kvaratskhelia is central to that vision.<\/p>\n<p>His numbers back up that belief as well. With goals and assists regularly coming, he has become a difference-maker in big games. His performances in the Champions League have pushed his market value even higher.<\/p>\n<p>Now, PSG hold the advantage with his current deal. With three years remaining on his contract, there is no pressure to sell. That said, it gives them full control of the situation. If Arsenal want to test their resolve, they will need to present a huge offer.<\/p>\n<p>For PSG, anything less than a big fee will not even start talks. That is what Arsenal are facing as they continue their checks behind the scenes.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-arteta-eyes-statement-signing-during-summer\">Arteta eyes statement signing during summer<\/h2>\n<p>For manager Mikel Arteta, this is about more than just adding depth in his squad. Arsenal have come close in recent seasons, but there is a growing feeling that one top attacker could push them over the line.<\/p>\n<p>Kvaratskhelia fits into that vision perfectly. He can play across the front line and thrives under pressure. His style would add more threat in the Gunners\u2019 current attacking line.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, European giants are watching the forward closely. Plenty of top clubs in Spain and Germany have reportedly shown interest, which could turn this into a bidding war. The English side moving early could be a smart play to stay ahead.<\/p>\n<p>The north London side\u2019s recruitment team has increased scouting activity around Paris Saint Germain games. That is usually a sign of serious intent rather than rumours. <\/p>\n<div class=\"preferred-source-box\" style=\"margin-top:40px;padding:25px;background: #1865b4;border:1px solid #ddd;border-radius:8px;text-align:center;\">\n<h2 style=\"font-size:24px;margin-bottom:10px;color:#fff;\">ENJOYED THIS STORY?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px;margin-bottom:20px;color:#fff;\">\n<p>                    Add Six Sports as a preferred source on Google to see more of our reporting\n                <\/p>\n<p>                    <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Add as a preferred source on Google\" style=\"max-width:260px;height:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goal.com\/img\/google-trusted-source\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.webp\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goal.com\/img\/google-trusted-source\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.webp\" alt=\"Add as a preferred source on Google\" style=\"max-width:260px;height:auto;\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"fe-author-box\" itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n<div class=\"fe-author-avatar\">\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5e5f688e8ef47bf47037a790559db1f6c9bfa0e5a27dd0b97369ccadb99ec34e?s=200&amp;d=mm&amp;r=g 2x\" class=\"avatar avatar-100 photo\" height=\"100\" width=\"100\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5e5f688e8ef47bf47037a790559db1f6c9bfa0e5a27dd0b97369ccadb99ec34e?s=100&amp;d=mm&amp;r=g\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5e5f688e8ef47bf47037a790559db1f6c9bfa0e5a27dd0b97369ccadb99ec34e?s=100&amp;d=mm&amp;r=g\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5e5f688e8ef47bf47037a790559db1f6c9bfa0e5a27dd0b97369ccadb99ec34e?s=200&amp;d=mm&amp;r=g 2x\" class=\"avatar avatar-100 photo\" height=\"100\" width=\"100\" decoding=\"async\"\/>    <\/div>\n<div class=\"fe-author-content\">\n<h2 class=\"fe-author-name\" itemprop=\"name\">\n<p>                Abhijeet Nalawade<br \/>\n        <\/h2>\n<p class=\"fe-author-bio\" itemprop=\"description\">\n<p>                Abhijeet Nalawade is a Senior Football Writer at Six Sports, providing in-depth coverage and expert analysis of football matches, player performances, and tactical developments.
