The Russian Premier League club "Anzhi" from Makhachkala has acquired London's right-back Yuri Zhirkov for 15 million euros, announces "Sovietsky Sport".
Although this news has not been officially confirmed, it is reported that the Russian has signed a four-year contract earning 5.5 million euros per season. He will become the highest-paid player in the Russian championship.
Zhirkov arrived in London in 2009. At that time, Moscow's CSKA received around 20 million euros for him.
However, the player failed to establish himself among the 'Blues' - in the last season of the English championship, he played only 12 matches, half of which he started in the starting lineup.
After completing 18 rounds in the Russian championship, "Anzhi" with 30 points is in fifth place. CSKA is in the lead with 41 points.
