Earlier, Match TV reported that the player had passed a medical examination in the Moscow team. Dzyuba’s examination took place in the morning in the capital’s Luzhniki Stadium, the results will be known within two hours. Further, it is planned to sign a contract, after which the forward will be officially announced as a Lokomotiv player. Most likely, the 34-year-old striker will begin training with a new team on the first day of the final pre-season training camp in Dubai on February 10.

This is a complete surprise for me. This is a historic transition, because everyone knows the relationship between Spartak and Lokomotiv. It will be interesting to see Artyom in the camp of the railway workers. I don’t know if Galaktionov needs Dziuba (the head coach of Lokomotiv – Ed.). Let’s see how he plays in the second half of the season. If Lokomotiv invites Artem Dzyuba, then they are serious. First of all, he is seen as a leader who can lead the team out of the crisis.

Will Dzyuba succeed in Lokomotiv? I don’t know yet. I would like to wish him success. It will be interesting for me and all Russian fans to look at Artem in Loko, ”Sport24 quotes Shuplyakova.
