Artem Dzyuba’s Club Future Analyzed By Former Zenit and Rubin Figures
Former coach of Moscow Locomotive Yuri Semin and ex Zenit player Artem recently shared his take on the future of Russian striker Artem Dzyuba. As reported by RB Sports, the veteran commentator stressed the urgency of Dzyuba finding a new club soon to maintain form and sharpen his skills. The longer the layoff, the tougher it becomes to regain peak condition and impact on the field.
In the 2021/22 season, Dzyuba produced 11 goals in 28 appearances, with one penalty goal and a tally of seven assists. These numbers illustrate a productive spell that underscored his value as a powerful centre forward capable of contributing in both scoring and playmaking roles. The season stood out at a time when his veteran leadership helped guide his team through a competitive campaign.
Earlier this year the forward helped Zenit secure a fourth domestic title before departing when his contract expired. Since leaving Zenit, Dzyuba has yet to secure a new club. By mid-July, reports indicated he was staying fit at Rubin, a club recently relegated from the top flight after the previous season. The temporary training arrangement is viewed by observers as a sign that the striker is actively seeking a fresh environment where his experience can translate into immediate impact on the pitch.
Arshavin, who formerly served as executive vice president of sports development at Zenit, has commented on the situation of the now clubless Dzyuba. He noted the challenges and opportunities tied to finding the right fit for a player with a long-standing contribution to Russian football. A shift to a new club could rejuvenate Dzyuba and extend his productive career, depending on the tactical system and the level of competition he encounters in the coming season. These developments are being watched closely by fans and analysts who want to see the striker return to peak performance and continue to be a credible threat in the forward line, whether in the domestic league or elsewhere in the region.
