“Spartak” acquired Balde because of the possible departure of Nicholson, Kechinov believes
Spartak Moscow signed a contract with striker Keita Balde, keeping in mind the possible departure of striker Shamar Nicholson from the team, said ex-player of the Red-Whites Valery Kechinov.
On Friday, 27-year-old Balde signed a three-year contract with Spartak.
– If Keith was signed, then he is a worthy striker. They probably signed it because of the possible departure of Nicholson. Indeed, in the event of Shamar’s departure, only Sobolev remains. A second striker is a must. I hope Balde is of very high quality and will help Spartak this season, ”Championship” quotes Kechinov.
The striker scored three goals and provided three assists in 26 Serie A appearances for Cagliari last season. Previously, he also played for Inter, Lazio and Monaco.
