Aris analyst coach doubts that Kokorin will be in demand at Fiorentina
Coach-analyst of the Cypriot “Aris” Yuri Dinabursky believes that Fiorentina is unlikely to count on striker Alexander Kokorin in the upcoming season.
In the season ended, Kokorin played 30 matches for Aris on loan, scored 13 goals and became the champion of Cyprus. The rights to the 32-year-old player belong to Fiorentina.
– Of the top 5 championships, modern German football does not suit him. I’m not sure that Kokorin can be in demand in the Spanish or English league. Will he be in demand at Fiorentina? There are doubts. If a year ago they didn’t count on him, now they hardly count on him. But in teams a little lower than in Italy, he can still prove himself – as a top ten, the second striker. A long pause, of course, played a negative role in his career. Speed decreases with age. But Alexander’s level of skill is still quite high, – said Dinabursky “Championship”.
According to media reports, the Turkish club Fatih Karagyumryuk is interested in the striker.
