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:

Lyon's Georges Mikautadze turns down AS Roma move
Things are looking on the up for Georges Mikautadze (24) at Olympique Lyonnais after what was a rocky start to life with Les Gones. After 27 appearances so far with OL, the Georgian has scored eight goals and has registered one assist since joining the club from his home region. Yet, this hasn't stopped attempts to sign the player. After rejecting Galatasaray, the Euro 2024 joint-top scorer has also reportedly batted away interested from Serie A side AS Roma – according to a report from . Reports from Italy and Foot Mercato confirmed that Roma were interested in the player, yet sources contact by FM confirmed that Mikautadze is not interested in a move. The 24-year-old joined Olympique Lyonnais from FC Metz in the summer, where he returned last season after a short and unsuccessful stint with Dutch giants AFC Ajax. With Les Grenats he was Ligue 2's player of the season in the 2022-2023 campaign, scoring 26 goals in 45 games in Lorraine before his move to the Eredivisie. When he rejoined Metz later last season, he scored a further 12 goals in just 19 appearances – yet it wasn't enough for Metz to avoid the drop as they were relegated via the play-offs at the expense of Saint-Étienne's promotion to the top tier. He joined Les Gones on a permanent €18m deal after last summer's European Championships. The Georgian scored three times in Germany at Euro 2024 to join Cody Gakpo, Harry Kane, Jamal Musiala, Dani Olmo, Ivan Schranz as the top scorers of the tournament. Lyon have recently parted ways with manager Pierre Sage, with Mikautadze posting a heart-felt tribute to his former coach on X. GFFN | George Boxall
