Club career

Born in Tbilisi, Gagua represented hometown sides FC Iberia 2010, FC Dinamo Tbilisi and FC Merani Tbilisi before moving to Spanish club Deportivo Alavés in October 2019. He made his senior debut with the reserves on 1 November 2020, coming on as a second-half substiute in a 3–0 Segunda División B away draw against Racing de Santander.

Gagua scored his first senior goal on 18 November 2020, netting the B's second in a 2–1 away win over Real Unión. The following 22 February, he renewed his contract with Alavés until 2024, and spent the 2021 pre-season with the first team.

On 8 August 2022, Gagua was loaned to the Txuri-beltz in Primera Federación for the season. Upon returning, he was assigned back at the B-side in Segunda Federación before moving to Croatian Football League side NK Istra 1961 on a three-year deal on 19 July 2024.

Gagua made his professional debut on 10 August 2024, replacing Moris Valinčić at half-time in a 2–1 home win over HNK Gorica.
