Salia graduated from Dinamo Tbilisi’s academy and was promoted to their first team in 2023. He played 30 matches so far, scoring four goals and registering two assists in the process.

The teenager represented Georgia’s U21 side in June but is yet to play for the senior team. There were concerns whether he would be eligible to get a work permit in the UK. The report claims this has been resolved, without providing further explanation.
