However, the 51-year-old believes that the Russian Premier League club will now part company with one of their strikers after signing Movsisyan from FC Krasnodar
The fact that Spartak Moscow completed the signing of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Yura-Movsisyan-c37665 from FC Krasnodar delights Sergei Gorlukovich, who has tipped the Armenian-American striker to settle down quickly.
The 25-year-old mercurial forward, who has already scored nine goals since the start of the league campaign this term, passed his medical at Luzhniki stadium yesterday following a reportedly 8 million Euros move.
If speculations are to be believed, the Red-Whites have offered the former FC Randers players a five-year contract with a 3.5 million Euros annual salary.
Gorlukovich, who won four league titles with the Russian outfit during his stay at Moscow, showered praise on the Spartachi latest acquisition and admitted that the news on the official website of the club cheered him up.
Spartak head coach, Valery Karpin, has made Movsisyan his first signing since returning to the helm following Unai Emery’s shocking departure. The Spanish tactician left Moscow with a heavy heart after a series of disappointing
results in domestic and European campaign.
Gorlukovich revealed that he is expecting Karpin, who was replaced by Emery despite helping Spartak to secure UEFA Champions League spot last term, to sell one of the available strikers at his disposal in the upcoming January transfer
window.
“I think the signing of Movsisyan will clear path for one of the strikers at Moscow. This is a common rule that if you have six forwards and you manage to sign one more, it means you are planning to get rid of one of them at least.”
“Who knows, Movsisyan will perform at the same level or not at his new club but the boy has got bags of talent. He is one of the best goal-scorers in Russia and needs a team like Spartak to make headlines.” The Russian Cup winner
was quoted as saying.
