Place in the UEFA Cup round of 16 already secured by Moscow, whose coach is the recently appointed Serbian Slavoljub Muslin, is looking for reinforcements in Tunisia - the Russian club has acquired Malian player Dramane Traore from the Tunisian club "Club Africain". Meanwhile, the country's champion "CSKA" has added a fourth Brazilian to their team, while "Dynamo" continues to attract the most talented Russian players.
23-year-old D. Traore, who cost 1 million euros, scored 9 goals in the Tunisian league this season, sharing the top spot on the list of top scorers. The player has already left Tunisia and returned to his homeland of Mali, and he is expected to arrive in Moscow on January 5th, as the next official "Lokomotiv" match will only take place on February 15th, when the UEFA Cup tournament matches continue.
"Club Africain" also confirmed that the Russian team is interested in the young team defender Walid Hicheri. This 19-year-old player is one of the new talents in Tunisia, and he stands at 1 meter 96 centimeters tall.
Meanwhile, another Moscow team, represented by the best Lithuanian footballer Deividas Šemberas, is also not planning to sit still this winter and has added another Brazilian - on Wednesday, the 18-year-old forward J signed a five-year contract with the club "Corinthians". The details of the deal are not disclosed.
Another ambitious Moscow club, "Dynamo," is expected to strengthen for the next season with the 27-year-old Russian national team defender Igor Semshov, for whom "Torpedo" is set to receive 4.5 million euros. The player would become the club's third acquisition this offseason - previously, the team was bolstered by "Lokomotiv" goalkeeper Sergey Ovchinnikov and defender Dmitry Khokhlov.
