The Londoners preferred the experienced Barcelona striker to the Russian.
In August, Russian football was blown up by loud news: the young Dynamo midfielder Arsen Zakharyan is close to moving to London Chelsea. The player has long been predicted a great future and a quick move to Europe. But in order to immediately go to Chelsea… It seemed that the Russian was incredibly lucky.
However, sadly, the transition did not take place. At least Zakharyan will not go to England this summer. The player’s transfer failed at the last moment.
And Chelsea seems to have found a more reliable option.
Barcelona’s Gabonese striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang lost his main striker spot following the signing of Robert Lewandowski and needed a new challenge. The same was required and defender Marcos Alonso, who is about to return to his native Spain. Barcelona is a great option for the 31-year-old, even though he was brought up at Real Madrid. Aubameyang, in turn, is well acquainted with England: he spent four years in another metropolitan club – Arsenal.
Chelsea relied on experience and reliability. Of course, in these components, it is still unrealistic for Zakharyan to compete with the Gabonese. But, apparently, the road to the Russians in England is not closed. There is still hope that Arsene will join one of the best teams in the world.
Dynamo issued a statement – Arsen will not leave this summer.
– For several days, there were substantive negotiations between Dynamo and Chelsea, in which our club took a constructive position. However, due to a number of technical reasons beyond our control, it is not possible to transfer the player to this summer transfer window. Nevertheless, our club remains open to proposals that will suit Dynamo and the player. At the moment, the parties have decided that Arsene will continue to play for Dynamo,” the club said.
Earlier this fact was confirmed by the agent of the player Rafael Pimenta. He stated that the transition is now impossible to issue.
For fans and experts, the disruption of the deal is even good. You can continue to enjoy the beautiful game of Zakharyan in Dynamo. But will this game be beautiful? Will failure hit the footballer?
Here we recall the situation with Fedor Chalov, whom CSKA at one time did not let go to Crystal Palace for a crazy 25 million pounds. Forward “army” then two years could not play normally!
It can be argued that the athlete tunes in to each performance without any problems and does not pay attention to the fuss around. But it’s not. Any athlete hears, understands, experiences and experiences all the same emotions as any other person. It’s good if this situation doesn’t hit Zakharyan’s motivation. After all, the guy is only 19 years old.
Now there is one mission for Dynamo and Arsen’s entourage – to prevent the player from slowing down and heading in the clouds. After all, if Chelsea return in the winter, they need to see Zakharyan at least at the same level.

Donetsk Shakhtar player Egor Nazarina commented on the draw in the Conference League match against Rijeka (0:0).
“We did not see the realization of the moments. There were moments that could have been scored, but unfortunately they were not accelerated by the blessings that they were. I respect you, we spent this match poorly, and the most important are the ones who moved on.”
This was our job, we wanted to complete it in the first century, and we died, so it’s good for you. If they had told us five months ago when the tournament started that we would be in the first week, I think we would have been in good shape straight away. Vikonali ce zavdanya – in ce nagolovnish.
What is the moral and moral aspect after six months of working so hard? Well, a little. Moving steadily while you are old, you know, it is not easy for you. But we won’t complain. We miss playing in the European cups, so there is nothing to complain about. We are happy that we suffer from, you might say, fatigue. When we are released immediately, we are excited and ready for training.
The first half of the season was difficult, but in the end it was positive. We completed our work at the Liza conferences – they passed, we are also in the lead with the championship – we share first place with however many points. I’ll say it again: if we had been told that five months ago, I respect that we would have been fit for those positions, as we did in both the European Cup and the Ukrainian Championship. I think we will continue to add more and in the other half of the season we will show even better results than the first.
I would like to thank the patients for their support in this difficult hour for us. This is the most important thing. Bless them with holy, healthy family well-being, and faith and belief in our victory, in the ZSU. They are the same – without them nothing would have happened. Once again: believe in our victory and have a peaceful sky above your head!

Head coach Noah Sandro Perkovic commented on his team’s defeat against Dynamo (0:2) in the sixth round of the main round of the Conference League.
Our mentor exclaimed in front of his players about the club’s historic achievements:
“First of all, I would like to say a word of thanks to our Gravians and greet the team. For the first time in history, Noa reached the play-offs of the European Cup tournament. This is a great achievement not only for the club, but also for Ukrainian football. We are further collapsing,” Perkovich said.
Speaking of the match itself, the coach welcomed Dynamo to victory and expressed the high level of respect for the opponent:
“The team looked very solid in the beginning, caused a number of unsafe moments, but could not open the door. I said before the match that Dynamo is a great club. In matches with such teams, many mistakes can be made. Today they punished us for this,” said the mentor.
Perkovich emphasized that his team was not surprised by the defeat of the Kiev club:
“Dynamo has not suffered at all. This is a very good team, which clearly plays in defense and has a wide variety of tactical plans. Perhaps we did not realize that the stench is so fragrant from the first days of the century and blessed for the decade and in attack,” the coach added.
He also famously said that Noah wasted no energy for a positive outcome:
“We attacked, pressed, tried to earn as much as possible. So we could have played more than ten times under the hour from the opponent’s overhead passes, but I won’t say we played badly. Dynamo just showed very good football today,” Perkovich summarized.
In the group stage of the Conference League, Noah scored all points in six games and took 19th place. This result allowed the Virmen club to reach the 1/16 finals of the LK.
