Maxim Glushenkov tops discussion of Russia’s greatest RPL forwards

Maxim Glushenkov, the forward for Lokomotiv Moscow, has been celebrated as one of the finest forwards in the history of the Russian Premier League. He might not want a strict ranking, yet his name consistently sits near the elite conversations that define the league’s storied past and its evolving present. Glushenkov’s perspective, shared with sports24, centers on five players who have left an indelible mark on Russian football: Kokorin, Dzyuba, Kerzhakov, Doumbia, and Hulk. These five names are the shorthand for a generation that shaped how teams attack, defend, and value the number nine in the modern RPL era. (Source: sports24)
