President of Dinamo Makhachkala Gadzhi Gadzhiev, a member of the technical committee of the Russian Football Union (RFU), spoke about the expectations of striker Artem Dzyuba if he leaves Lokomotiv at the end of this season. In a conversation with socialbites.ca, the expert admitted that Dzyuba could play for a few more years in Russia or China; here, according to rumors, is Leonid Slutsky, head coach of Shanghai Shenhua, former mentor of the Russian national team. is interested in the transfer.
“I think Dziuba’s health allows him to play for a few more years. It is clear that my diagnosis may be erroneous; I judge only based on my own experience and observations. But if everything is fine with his health, he will last a few more years.
Approximately we can remember quite a few times when players played for a long time. For example, if there was a question of whether Dziuba could adapt to a big team playing in the Champions League in the West, then I would have doubts. But considering what he is playing for, I think he could play in China or Russia for a few years, not in Lokomotiv. He doesn’t play with a lot of movement volume or high-speed movements. However, he can maintain his power qualities as always in the penalty area. At this age, they are not yet lost as much as speed,” Gadzhiev said.
Dziuba’s contract with Lokomotiv expires at the end of the 2023/24 season. Dzyuba needs to make two effective moves for the red-green team to automatically extend his contract.
The 35-year-old striker played in 23 matches in all competitions in the 2023/24 season, scoring 4 goals and making 4 assists. Last season, the forward shared the title of the team’s top scorer with Wilson Isidore and Anton Miranchuk, who played for only half of the season.
Previously at RFU not ignored Financial disputes between Lokomotiv and Anton Miranchuk.
