Newcastle reach agreement to sign Georgia teenager Vakhtang Salia

🍸According to , Newcastle have reached a full agreement with Dinamo Tbilisi for young forward Vakhtang Salia, who will make the move to St. James’ Park next summer after he has turned 18-years-old.

ꦬAs per the report, Salia is viewed as the next ‘outstanding’ talent in Georgian football that in recent years has quickly evolved into one of the next hot spots in the game, with Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Liverpool goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili two of the best players in Europe.

꧅And Newcastle are now moving in to get a slice of the action with Salia, who is already a Georgia youth international with the U-21s having this season scored in the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifiers with Tbilisi.

🅘Indeed, the centre-forward has a lot of promise and could become a top player for Newcastle if Salia’s development continues in a positive direction in England, and the Toon could be making a great decision in moving for the Georgia wonderkid at this stage in his career.
