Tottenham Hotspur Are Keeping A Keen Eye On This Ligue 1 Forward: Should Frank Move In For Him?
Tottenham Hotspur Are Keeping A Keen Eye On This Ligue 1 Forward: Should Frank Move In For Him? In a recent report, TuttoJuve revealed that Tottenham Hotspur are keeping a keen eye on Olympique Lyonnais forward Georges Mikautadze. It has been stated that Spurs are eyeing a move to bring the Georgian striker to North London this summer. Mikautadze's Impressive Form In French Football Mikautadze enjoyed a decent run of form at the French club in the previous campaign after he produced a string of impressive displays for them in the final third. The Georgia international banged in 17 goals and picked up 11 assists in 47 matches for Lyon last season across all fronts. Advertisement The 24-year-old led the line well and deserves credit for averaging 3.23 shots per 90 minutes in the Ligue 1. He also kept 42.3% of his attempts on target. Mikautadze even distributed possession well based on his pass success rate of 76.5% in the top tier of French football (stats via His current contract at the French club will expire in the summer of 2028. Therefore, Spurs would have to make a convincing offer if they are serious about recruiting the Georgian forward this off-season. TBILISI, GEORGIA – MARCH 23: Georges Mikautadze of Georgia kicks to score a goal during the UEFA Nations League B/C Play-off 2nd Leg match between Georgia and Armenia at Dinamo Arena on March 23, 2025 in Tbilisi, Georgia. (Photo by) Should Tottenham Hotspur Boss Thomas Frank Move In For Mikautadze? Mikautadze excels at finding a yard of space for himself to get a few strikes in at goal. He has got the vision to create some inviting chances for his teammates in the final third and is a decent dribbler with the ball at his feet. Advertisement The Georgian talent deserves credit for scoring and creating a handful of goals for his team. Mikautadze is primarily a centre-forward but can also fill in as a left-winger if told to do so. However, only time will tell whether he can make a smooth transition to life in the Premier League if Spurs manage to bring him on board this summer. We can expect Mikautadze to add more firepower to Tottenham boss Thomas Frank's frontline. He has what it takes to nail down a regular first-team spot at the North London club next season. At 24, Mikautadze has his best years ahead of him. Therefore, the North London club would be wise to move in for him in this summer transfer period as long as they can get him for a reasonable fee.

Door OPENS for Liverpool to complete dream forward transfer
Unlike Alexander Isak, who Newcastle will be reluctant to sell, there's a forward playing in France who is pretty much tailor-made for Slot's style of play and who could be available for a bargain price. We're talking about Georges Mikautadze. The Georgian attacker reminds us of Diogo Jota in his prime. He's quick and he latches onto chances brilliantly. Advertisement Last year he stepped up for Georgia scoring three times in four matches to end-up as the joint-top scorer in the tournament. Mikautadze has followed that up with a solid campaign for Lyon, where he made 28 goal contributions in 47 matches. Those numbers make him an ideal target. Mikautadze can be very clinical in front of goal and he's versatile - he can play across the front three, which is exactly the type of forward Liverpool are looking for at the moment.

Substitutes Fofana and Mikautadze score to help Lyon rally past Le Havre in French league
PARIS (AP) — Substitutes Malick Fofana and Georges Mikautadze played key roles in helping Lyon to rally past Le Havre 4-2 in the French league on Sunday. Mikautadze, who joined Lyon from Metz last year, scored and provided two assists after coming on in the 77th minute. Fofana replaced Ernest Nuamah with 19 minutes remaining with Lyon trailing 2-1 and Mikautadze came on for Rayan Cherki six minutes later. Fofana leveled the scoring in the 78th minute from Mikautadze's assist with a left-footed angled shot, and the Georgia international then turned finisher after Le Havre defenders failed to clear a corner soon after. Thiago Almada added more luster to Lyon's win with another goal in added time after another assist from Mikautadze. Lyon captain Alexandre Lacazette had put Lyon in front from the penalty spot in the 22nd minute. Another penalty from Abdoulaye Toure put Le Havre level before Josue Casimir scored on the stroke of halftime for the visitors. Lyon moved to fifth place in the standings, just two points behind the last direct Champions League spot. Le Havre remained 16th in the relegation playoff spot. Later Sunday, unbeaten PSG could move closer to another title with a home win against bitter rival Marseille. ___ AP soccer:
