Otar Kiteishvili, born on 26 March 1996 (age 30), is a Georgian attacking midfielder whose senior career is now bound up with Sturm Graz. Wearing number 10, he has become a long-serving and productive presence there rather than a passing import.
Across nine league seasons with Sturm, Kiteishvili has made 206 league appearances and scored 60 goals. That is a healthy return from midfield, especially for a player whose role is not simply to hang around the box waiting for scraps.
His 2025-26 campaign underlined his continuing value to the side. He made 29 league appearances and scored 15 goals, his most productive league season, while his full Sturm tally for the campaign stood at 37 appearances and 18 goals in all competitions, including three goals in the Europa League. He also represented Georgia in four European World Cup qualifiers.
His current market value is around £5m, according to Transfermarkt. Kiteishvili’s career has been shaped overwhelmingly by Sturm Graz: a Georgian international, an established attacking midfielder, and still a regular part of the first team in 2025-26.
