Real Sociedad President Hawkin Aperribay admitted that the club has been following Russian midfielder Arsen Zakharyan since 2019.
Real Sociedad has been following Arsene since 2019. We have 33 player reports. We followed his game closely. We asked if he was available in the summer of 2022. And when we realized that David Silva was no longer playing, it became completely clear that this is the player we needed,” Aperribay said at a press conference after signing Zakharyan.
On August 19, Real Sociedad announced the transfer of Arsen Zakharyan from Dynamo Moscow. His contract with the team runs until June 2029. In the summer of 2023, three Dutch clubs immediately became interested in the Russian midfielder, these are PSV, Ajax and Feyenoord.
Zakharyan has played one goal and one assist in three games in the Russian Premier League (RPL) this season.
