Striker Artem Dzyuba may consider playing in MELBET First League, he needs to choose “not money, but football matters,” believes ex-player of the Russian national team Sergey Kiryakov.

Dzyuba, 34, has been without a club since leaving Turkey’s Adana Demirspor last November. As part of the team, the Russian played five matches and scored one goal. Earlier it became known that the Moscow “Torpedo” refused the option of inviting a football player.

– Can Artem finish his career if he does not find a club this winter? I think yes. Again, it all depends on him. How much he feels in himself the strength and desire to extend his career. In attack you need speed, there is a lot of work. He must decide for himself what level to play. If his crown does not fall, you can play in the FNL. What do you dislike about the option with the Tula Arsenal, where he left a good mark? Dziuba must understand that his best years are behind him. We must choose not money, but football affairs, ”Kiryakov said in an interview with KP Sport.
