Will Army-Men lose Yuri Zhirkov?
By: j | June 4th, 2009With CSKA Moskva’s Yuri Zhirkov quickly emerging as one of Russia’s brightest young stars, the faithful around Luzhniki fret whether they’ll be chanting “Zhirkov” for much longer. The play-maker extraordinaire has been linked to Roman Abramovich’s Chelsea and most recently, Barcelona.
Hopeful that he’ll continue to grace CSKA’s lineup but the Russian international might not be so inclined to make the move unless he is confident of a spot in the starting eleven. Speaking to Russian media giant “Sports Express” he noted that with regards to a possible move to London, “I know no more about it that any other people.” Equally young Mr Zhirkov is very focused on CSKA’s Champions League efforts, noting that his side will be in the Champions League this year.
However at present his focus is squarely on Russia’s World Cup qualifying match against Finland next Wednesday stating, “now I am preparing for the coming match in Finland and try not filling my head with other things.”

Zhirkov is one of the best goalscorers in Europe at the moment. He should play for a team that fights for the CL trophy…it would be cool to see him replancing Eto’o in Barca.

As i predicted he moved to one of the biggest clubs in the world. Zhirkov joined Chelsea on a four year deal for a reported fee of £18m. This deal made him most expensive Russian football player of all time.
Wish him all the best and wining the CL trophy with Chelsea.Posted from
