CSKA forward Nikita Kurbanov is sent on the rent by our club to Spartak St. Petersburg. Nikita will play in red and white colors for a single season.
Andrei Vatutin, CSKA CEO:
- We did not hide originally our intention to employ Nikita in one of the Russian clubs again. Competition on his position at CSKA is a very tough and, at the same time, the demand for skilled Russian players, the national team candidates is high. We are happy that it was Spartak who gave Kurbanov a chance to express himself. Nikita will play under the coach Yevgeny Pashutin, next to Zakhar Pashutin and Anatoly Kashirov.
Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:
- It is a very good opportunity for Nikita as well as for Anatoly Kashirov. He will play for Zhenya Pashutin and under supervision of our captain Zakhar Pashutin. I think Nikita got another possibility to grow up and to make a step forward in his career.
