  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Mikautadze continues to enjoy a rich vein of form as he has helped minnows Georgia reach the round of 16 stage of Euro 2024. After scoring 14 Ligue 1 goals for Metz last season, the striker now has three goals and an assist to his name in the European Championship and is currently leading the Golden Boot race.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Now reports that Premier League side West Ham United have placed an offer with Metz to sign their star forward in the ongoing summer transfer window. The Hammers's offer is reportedly much higher than the French club's demand of €20m (£16m/$21m). The English club, however, will face competition from RC Lens and AS Monaco who are also keen on the 23-year-old.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  The Lyon youth product briefly joined Dutch giants Ajax in 2023 but the move did not work out as per plan and he was quickly loaned out to his former club Metz who has now made the signing permanent.
