Athletistic/ Football. General director of “Ufa” Shamil Gazizov commented on the future of striker Hamid Agalarov.

According to Gazizov, Agalarov can continue his career at a European club.

“There is an interest from Europe for Agalarov. I hope he leaves (there). I think it will be good for Russian football and for the footballer himself.

Is it too early for him to enter the top-level championship? He became the top scorer in the Russian championship – the team in 14th place. In “Zenith”, someone scored 19 goals? Are they too early? For me, it’s the opposite. I have no doubt that if everything goes well, without injuries, then Agalarov will glorify Russian football.

Is he the best striker in Russia right now? Today, yes. In a year, maybe someone else will grow up and be stronger. But now Agalarov is the best striker in the country,” Gazizov said as quoted by Match TV.

Last season RPL 21-year-old Agalarov scored 20 goals in 31 appearances.
