Vyacheslav Koloskov, who serves as the Honorary President of the Russian Football Union, shared a candid assessment of the top performers in the first third of the Russian Premier League. He spoke with Sports24, offering a clear verdict on who has stood out this season.
Quincy Promes, the Dutch attacking midfielder for Spartak Moscow, earns the title of the best player in the top third of the RPL according to Koloskov. The veteran football administrator noted that many young Russian talents and several established names have shown inconsistent form, while Promes has consistently driven Spartak forward. In Koloskov’s view, the Dutch forward has become the driving force for his club during a period marked by fluctuations in team performance. This assessment comes as fans and analysts watch Promes contribute decisively in important moments, reinforcing his status as a standout figure in the league. [Sports24]
In the current campaign, Promes has appeared in 15 competitive matches for Spartak Moscow, contributing 5 goals and 6 assists across all competitions. His influence is felt not only in scoring but in creating opportunities for teammates, which has helped stabilize a side working through a challenging phase. The Dutch international’s consistency has been a bright spot amid a broader tactical transition within the squad. [Sports24]
After 11 rounds of the RPL, Spartak Moscow sits eighth in the table with 17 points, reflecting a team that is still finding its rhythm and adjusting to new tactical structures. The upcoming fixture adds a layer of anticipation: Guillermo Abascal’s squad is set to host Paris Nizhny Novgorod in front of the home crowd. The match is scheduled for October 22 at 14:00 Moscow time, offering Spartak a chance to consolidate momentum and climb the standings with strong home support. [Sports24]
Earlier in the season Promes was honored with the Golden Pig award, highlighting his contributions and popularity within the league. This recognition underscores his impact on Spartak’s campaign and his standing among fans and pundits alike. [Sports24]
