Friend of the footballer Artem Dziuba Taras Kiyashko, who trains UFC fighter Alexander Volkov, in a conversation with a correspondent, expressed confidence that the player transferred to Akron Togliatti will bring many benefits to the new team and the clubs that rejected him will regret it.
On Thursday, Akron announced the signing of 36-year-old Dzyuba. The deal with the forward runs through the end of the 2024/25 season.
— Of course, I congratulated Artyom on the transition. I know that he left in the morning to sign the contract. In fact, we waited a long time to find out where and with whom the agreement would be signed, because there were offers from abroad and negotiations took place here. As he wanted, he will still play. I am sure that Artem will bring a lot of benefits to the new team and will enjoy it himself. Those who refused him will regret it again.
— Do we know how the negotiations took place and what form they currently take?
— As far as I know, he and Leonid Goldman were involved in the negotiations. Talks were held almost daily with some clubs, then with others. Something was postponed, something did not work out. Artem trained hard at that time. I even managed to play with him in a street football tournament in the same team. But he himself worked individually with coaches, in addition to that. He ran and played football. He is in great shape. Just today we talked when he was undergoing a medical examination. Artem said: “I’m fine.” All that remains is to meet all the guys from the new team and join the team in which he will certainly succeed. And play.
— Are you planning to travel to Samara for matches now?
– Certainly. It is not even specified. Now Akron is our favorite team! If before we traveled to St. Petersburg and Moscow, now we will also go to Togliatti and Samara. Fortunately, there are a lot of Moscow teams, we will also go to the Moscow matches. Well, we will definitely fly to St. Petersburg. If possible, we will attend its matches! – Kiyashko told .
Dzyuba scored a total of 229 goals in official matches during his career.
