The Ukrainian was named the Cherries’ best player last season
Head coach Bournemouth Andoni Iraola noted that he expects further progress from the Ukrainian in the new season Ilya Zabarny and other young football players.
“Many players in our team are quite young, like Milos Kerkez, Ilya Zabarnyi, Alex Scott, Dango Uttara. One season in the Premier League can make them improve a lot, and I expect them to be able to raise their level.”
Let us recall that at the end of July Zabarnyi extended his contract with Bournemouth. The Ukrainian’s new contract runs until the summer of 2029.
Ilya was named Bournemouth Player of the Season and nominated for the Premier League All-Star Team. Last month, Zabarnyi officially became the media face of the eSports organization Requiem.
At Euro 2024, the centre-back played all three matches without substitutions as part of the Ukrainian national team. Recall that Serhiy Rebrov’s team scored four points, but left the tournament, taking the last place in Group E.
Bournemouth finished 12th in the English Premier League. The Cherries will begin the 2024/25 Premier League season against Nottingham Forest.
