Vakho Salia: From Tbilisi to the Premier League

Georgian teenager Vakhtang Salia, known as Vakho, is set to join Newcastle United from Dinamo Tbilisi. The 17-year-old striker is part of a promising generation of Georgian footballers. His move to the Premier League reflects his dream and hope to represent Georgia on the international stage.

Georgian wonderkid Vakhtang Salia is primed for a significant venture as he transitions from Dinamo Tbilisi to the historic St James' Park, Newcastle United's revered home. At just 17 years old, 'Vakho' is a testament to the burgeoning talent pool emerging from Georgia's evolving football scene.

Salia's move, scheduled for near his 18th birthday in August, represents a dream realized as he prepares to compete among the elite in the Premier League. He began playing at age four and debuted on Georgia's top-flight football stage just last year. His path to this milestone is marked by ambition and relentless pursuit of excellence.

Admiring Georgian football figures like Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Georges Mikautadze, Salia envisions playing for his national team in the future. Dinamo Tbilisi head coach Vladimer Kakashvili believes Vakho is well-equipped to meet the Premier League's challenges, praising his work ethic and professional prowess.
