Old St. Petersburg Zenit football player Andrei Arshavin chose Alexander Golovin as the best Russian football player of 2023 TASS.
“The best Russian player of 2023? If you can’t get it from us, then this is Alexander Golovin. But in Russia I don’t know. Arshavin said Golovin is doing well in Monaco.
The Russian moved to Monaco from the capital CSKA in the summer of 2018. His transfer was a record fee in the club’s history. Golovin was transferred to the French club for 30 million euros.
The Russian player played in 15 matches this season, scored 5 goals and made 2 assists. In the match against Toulouse on 20 December, Golovin was sent off the field for unsporting behaviour.
Monaco is in third place with 33 points after 17 matches. Nice, which is in second place, has two more points. The leader of the championship is PSG (40 points). Monegasques will play their next match against Reims on January 13. The teams will take to the field at 19.00 Moscow time.
Former coach of CSKA Moscow Alexander Tarkhanov took the chances Golovin will be transferred to one of Europe’s leading clubs.
