Last night, Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio was the first to report that Chelsea football club have submitted a bid to sign 19-year-old Russian wonder kid, Arsen Zakharyan....CONTINUE READING THE FULL ARTICLE>>>
The Dynamo Moscow midfielder who has been voted the club’s player of the season for two straight campaigns has earned himself comparisons with elite midfielders like Kevin De Bruyne and Cesc Fabregas because of his sensational runs, finishing and final passes.
Since the news about his imminent move to Chelsea hit the social media platforms, fans who had never heard his name before had to make some research on the player and see if he would be adding anything to Thomas Tuchel’s side when he arrives.
After reading about him and watching his compilations, many believe this youngster could be the answer to one of Chelsea’s biggest problems which creativity.
Arsen Zakharyan is blessed with a vision to see runs that an average player wouldn’t see and what makes this incredible is that, he can successfully make the passes.
So far, he has hit 26 goals + assists in just about 47 games in the Russian first division at just 19 years old and is already a member of the Russian national team with 4 caps to his name.
It sounds ridiculous to think that a 19-year-old Chelsea signing could just walk right into the first team with all the world class players at the club.
But, Arsen Zakharyan could definitely do it because of his player profile. Unlike all the midfielders at Chelsea right now, the Russian is a creator of goals.
For years, Chelsea have lacked a midfielder who can be called a creator and that is one of the main reasons why the attackers are struggling at the club.
Arsen automatically fixes this problem for Chelsea and as such, could be an automatic starter despite his young age.
At Barcelona we see youngsters like Pedri start for the club at the biggest stage of all because they have that talent and offer something really special.
Also, at Bayern Munich, Jamal Musiala is a starter. So there’s absolutely no reason why Arsen Zakharyan can not be a starter for Thomas Tuchel’s men.
