Italian Fiorentina striker Alexander Kokorin could strengthen Sochi’s attack line, said midfielder Christian Noboa of the southern club.
Kokorin played for Sochi in 2020, in 10 matches the 31-year-old forward scored seven goals.
– Could Sochi be useful to Alexander Kokorin, who is not doing very well at Fiorentina?
– I don’t know why he didn’t succeed in Italy, it’s better to ask him himself. Kokorin is a strong striker, I think that he would help Sochi. I’m sure that his career is not over yet and he will be able to prove himself,” Noboa said in an interview with Match TV.
The Sochi midfielder also noted that the departure of the team’s top scorer Mateo Cassierra would be a big loss for the team.
Mateo is our top scorer with 14 goals. It is clear that when such a player leaves the team, it is a big loss. It will be very difficult to find a replacement for him. For Zenit, this is a great reinforcement, Noboa added.
On Thursday, St. Petersburg Zenit officially announced the transfer of Cassierra.
