Tufrin Predicts Which Zenit Forward Might Depart Following Dakus Arrival

The former president of St. Petersburg’s Zenit, Leonid Tufrin, speculated on which forward might leave the team if Albanian player Myrlin Daku joins.

Recently, reports emerged that Rubin is highly likely to accept Zenit’s offer for Daku. If there are no unforeseen circumstances, Daku is expected to undergo a medical examination for the transfer to Zenit this coming Sunday. Sources from the Championship have confirmed the transfer information.

«If Daku is joining Zenit, it indicates the club’s intention to sell one of the forwards. In my opinion, they may part ways with Sobolev or Kassierra. They should ideally let both go! It’s hard to say whether Daku will strengthen Zenit. It all depends on how well he integrates into the team. Having been in Russia for two years already, he should have adapted. From that standpoint, it will be easier for him than for Gerson. Daku is probably a good acquisition for Zenit.»

After this season, the Petersburg club is determined to win both the championship and the Russian Cup, as this year marks their 100th anniversary (laughs). They need to make up for last season,» Tufrin remarked in a conversation with Championship correspondent Vladislav Kruglov.
