Aris striker Alexander Kokorin will be of interest to Russian clubs this summer, Vlastimil Petrzhela, ex-head coach of Zenit, told RB Sport.
Earlier, Kokorin received the Cyprus Football Association Award and was recognized as the best player in the national championship this season.
– Kokorin can play at a high level when he has motivation. In Cyprus, Alexander fell in love with football again and began to show results, and in Fiorentina he felt like a stranger. I don’t think that he will play at least once in the Italian championship – he has a bad reputation there. But the leading RPL clubs will compete for Alexander in the summer. He will become a reinforcement for Zenit, CSKA, Dynamo,” said Petrzhela.
This season, the 32-year-old striker has made 28 appearances for Aris in all competitions, scoring 13 goals and providing 6 assists.
Kokorin plays for Aris on loan, the sports rights to the player belong to the Italian Fiorentina.
