Georges Mikautadze, a Georgian forward who arrived at Olympique de Lyon after shining at Metz, could be living his last months at the French club. The 24-year-old attacker was acquired for nearly 20 million euros with the expectation of becoming an offensive reference, but his performance has been far from expected. Amid the economic crisis facing Lyon, West Ham from the Premier League emerges as a possible destination for the player, who is already on the English team's radar.
West Ham, attentive to Mikautadze's situation
The season has not been easy for Mikautadze nor for Lyon. The historic French club is in a critical situation both in sporting and financial aspects, raising alarms about a possible relegation. In this context, the departure of the Georgian is not only an option but a necessity to try to balance the team's accounts. His lack of scoring accuracy, combined with Lyon's general difficulties, has resulted in his impact on the team being less than expected after his arrival.
Meanwhile, West Ham is closely monitoring the developments at Lyon. The English club, looking to strengthen its forward line with young yet proven talent, sees Mikautadze as an interesting bet. Although the Georgian hasn't had a brilliant start in French football, his demonstrated ability at Metz makes him an attractive option for the Premier League, where the speed and power of his game could fit better.
Lyon's economic uncertainty could speed up negotiations, leaving the door open for Mikautadze to try to redirect his career in England. West Ham, in need of securing depth in their squad, seems willing to give him a new opportunity in the competitive British football.
