Georges Mikautadze (Georgian: ჟორჟ მიქაუტაძე Zhorzh Mikautadze; born 31 October 2000) is a professional footballer who plays as a striker for Ligue 1 club Metz. Born in France, he plays for the Georgia national team.

Club career

Early career

Mikautadze started taking first steps in football at Gerland before he joined Olympique Lyon academy. In 2016, he moved to Metz football academy.[1]

Mikautadze made his professional debut with Metz in a 4–1 Ligue 1 loss to Nice on 7 December 2019.[2] On 10 December 2019, he signed his first professional contract with Metz, for four years.[3] He struggled to make an impact in his first season in France, playing mostly for the reserve team.[4]

Seraing

In June 2020, Mikautadze was one of six Metz players to join Belgian First Division B side Seraing on loan.[5] After his first nine matches with Seraing, he had scored 15 times, including four on his debut against Lommel.[6] Overall, with 19 goals he became a joint topscorer of the season. He netted three goals in an aggregate 6–3 play-off victory over Waasland-Beveren. For his contribution to Seraing's successful league campaign, Mikautadze was named in Team of the Season[7] and awarded Métallo d'Or, the title annually given to the best Seraing player, after the fans had voted for him.[8]

On 30 August 2021, he returned to Seraing on another loan, with the club now promoted to the Belgian top tier.[9] The team ended up in the relegation zone, although it remained in the league due to the only goal scored by Mikautadze in the play-offs against Molenbeek.[10]

Metz

In the summer of 2022, Mikautadze returned to Metz. From the very early stage of the team's league campaign, he emerged as a vital contributor to its promotion battle. By March 2023 Mikautadze was a leading goalscorer of the league. Taking into account his overall performance, the National Union of Professional Players (UNPF) named him Player of the Month.[11] Having added nine more goals in April and May, he was selected in Team of the Week six times in a row during this period.[12] At the end of this season he became the top goalscorer and best player of the league.[13]

His initial contract due to expire in June 2023 has been extended until June 2025.[14]

International career

Mikautadze received a first call-up for the Georgia national team from French coach Willy Sagnol in March 2021. He told the press that he had been dreaming about playing for Georgia since his childhood.[15]

Mikautadze made his debut with the Georgia national team in a 1–0 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification loss to Sweden on 25 March 2021.[16] In June 2021, he netted his first international goal in a 2–1 away friendly win against Romania.[17]
