Former Zenit striker Artem Dzyuba is better off focusing on the Russian championship rather than going abroad, former Ajax striker Dmitry Bulykin told Sport Day after Day.

Earlier, the media reported that Dziuba could become a player in the Dutch Vitesse, but Match TV denied this information.

– I think that the Dutch championship is suitable for Dziuba. He has the same plan as me. I also had a second wind in the Netherlands, where they play attacking football and use a forward a lot. They play mainly in a 4-3-3 formation, in which a striker is used a lot. He has a lot of chances in this game.

– Is Dzyuba able to play in such a championship, taking into account his age and a long pause?

– Capable. But he already had Turkey. It’s easier to focus on the Russian championship. Now we need to slow down the financial requests a little and finish here. There is no point in going anywhere anymore.

– In “Vitesse” they won’t pay much?

– I think yes. They will bet on young players there. This is a way for small clubs to make money by reselling players. They are unlikely to be able to sell Dziuba anywhere. This option is unlikely, although I do not exclude anything. Still, Dziuba is known all over the world. It’s just that now it’s very difficult for Russians to leave because of the international situation. There will be a lot of pressure on those clubs that will take the Russian football player.

I think it would be better to end your career in the Russian championship. If he wants to continue his career abroad, then in Turkey or Saudi Arabia, but if I were him, I would finish in the RPL.

The Russian striker is without a club after leaving the Turkish Adana Demirspor in the fall of 2022. Dzyuba is the top scorer in the history of the Russian championships, the forward, together with Alexander Kerzhakov, shares the first place in goals for the Russian national team.
