Arsenal are interested in Spartak Moscow’s Zhano Ananidze, with The Gunners considering a winter bid for the 19-year-old.
The attack-minded midfielder has attracted the attentions of several top European clubs, but the Russian outfit are yet to receive any offers for the youngster.
However, according to reports in Russia, Ananidze could be on his way to the Premier League, with Arsenal reportedly ready to make a January bid for the Georgian international’s services.
Ananidze has made 11 appearances so far this season for Spartak, scoring 1 goal along the way, and has established himself as a regular for the Moscow club, with many Russian pundits claiming Valery Karpin must keep him at the Luzhniki Stadium at all costs. But this may prove difficult, with Arsenal, Wolfsburg and Hamburg all interested in the Georgian starlet.
It is believed Arsenal are willing to pay up to £4 million for Ananidze, but will have to act swiftly if they want to secure his signature in January before any other clubs express their interest in the young player.
