Former Dynamo Moscow football player and coach Alexei Petrushin believes that midfielder Arsen Zakharyan will not have enough space in the Chelsea dressing room, as there are too many players in the London club.

Last summer, Zakharyan was associated with the transfer of Chelsea, but for a number of technical reasons, the transfer of the player failed.

– Zakharyan stated that he never considered the possibility of moving to Galatasaray. Does it make sense for him to think about moving to a European club today?

– Here you need to look at what European clubs are interested in him – does he need it today? It makes sense to go only to a serious club, where he will improve his skills and gain valuable experience.

– To a Champions League level club?

– Optionally, you can go to a club of the level of the Conference League. At least in a team that takes part in international tournaments. First, we need to look at the championship itself, and also take into account the place in the starting lineup. I don’t know what comes first – money or football.

Does it make sense for Zakharyan to move to Chelsea?

– In Chelsea, even in the dressing room there is not enough space for players. It should not be. There should be 18-20 players in the cage. It is not always good when there are many players. Quantity does not mean quality. Only 13 people played in Dynamo Kiev of the best type – and the club showed the result. Yesterday, on the field in the match with Real Madrid, they did not know where to go, – Petrushin is quoted by Euro‑Futbol.Ru.
