Former Rostov SKA and Krasnodar Kuban player Vladimir Obedzinsky criticized the playing level of Dinamo midfielder Arsen Zakharyan.
“Zakharyan will not play for Galatasaray, he will play for the Turkish Bath championship! I watched it with “Wings of the Sovets”. Samaranlar liked it, well done. And Zakharyan is not very well right now, it doesn’t match what you said about him. Those who started arguing with the referees – they are already stricken with megalomania and consider themselves super football players. This is also about Zakharyan. A year and a half or two ago he was fine, but then he became a gray person, ”quotes obedzinsky. “European football”.
Recall that during the summer Chelsea offered £12.6m for the 19-year-old midfielder. However, the transfer did not take place due to the restrictions imposed on Russian football last year. Many Russian clubs have had trouble getting funding from previous European transfers.
It was also reported that Chelsea would not give up on Zakharyan, but contact between the clubs for player transfers was suspended in the fall.
In January it was learned that Chelsea continue to be interested in the Russians, but they are no longer a priority option for the British. In addition, the Turkish media reported on Zakharyan’s transfer to Galatasaray as if it were a fait accompli.
