Former CSKA player and current coach Alexander Grishin believes that young players of the Russian Premier League (RPL) Nair Tiknizyan and Arsen Zakharyan should not run to Europe. Transmits words RT.
It is not surprising to me that European clubs showed interest in Nair Tiknizyan. But if I were her, I wouldn’t rush to move to Europe. First of all, Nair will lose a lot in terms of salary. Second, it needs to get stronger: After all, it has only recently become the main player.
The same goes for Arsen Zakharyan, who started winning at Chelsea after his first successful season at Dynamo. And going to Feyenoord now wouldn’t be the best idea for him. Therefore, it is not worth rushing to play in Europe yet, ”said Grishin.
Last season, Zakharyan made 27 appearances in the Russian Championship, scoring four goals and seven assists. In the summer of 2022, Chelsea offered £12.6m for the Russian midfielder. This summer, the media reported on the interest of Ajax and Feyenoord.
According to media reports, Spanish Valencia is interested in Tiknizyan. He played 29 games for Lokomotiv in the RPL last season, scoring five goals and providing two assists in those games.
Previously reportedthat four Ukrainian football players could not obtain Russian passports to play in the Second Division.
