Spartak rule out Ananidze sale

The 17-year-old has been linked with several clubs around Europe, including Arsenal, Liverpool, Sevilla, Juventus and AC Milan.

“I read the stories,” said Spartak director of football Dmitri Popov.

“The list of clubs did not surprise me, especially the first two [Arsenal & Liverpool], they are built on continually searching for new talent.

“But Spartak haven’t received formal offers and we don’t intend to consider them for the next three or four years.”
