Former Krasnodar and Spartak Moscow football player Yura Movsisyan spoke about the interest of American MLS clubs in Russian striker Artem Dziuba.
“By the way, they called Dzyuba, who I think is their representative. They asked about options in MLS, but then international transfers to the league were already closed.
MLS asked about Dziuba after the 2018 World Cup. Artem was the best player of the Russian national team. He was just a monster in that tournament.
MLS clubs asked for him, but Artem was one of the best forwards in the world. After the 2018 World Cup. Therefore, he did not even listen to these recommendations – he just wanted to go to Europe, ”says Movsisyan “Match TV”.
Dzyuba, 34, joined Lokomotiv Moscow in early February. During that time, he played eight games in which he scored six goals and made four assists.
