Spartak Moscow striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pavel-Yakovlev-c29514, has expressed a desire to stay at the Moscow-based club despite stiff interested from defending Russian Premier League champions, Zenit St. Petersburg, this summer.
“I do not know what has been written about my future. At the moment, these are all rumours. And generally speaking on the topic, I have not heard of any offer yet.
“Now I do not see any reason to go somewhere out because I personally get a lot more interest playing European football with Spartak.
“Spartak spirit is a sensitive issue. For me it is something that is more to improve the playing style. In addition, I think we should talk less about that spirit of Spartakovskaya and should concentrate on our
game,” Yakovlev was quoted as saying.
News in Russian media has linked Yakovlev with a move to the St. Petersburg club, following the promising striker’s impressive campaign at Spartak stadium this season. The 22-year-old, who spent two seasons at
Krylia Sovetov Samara on loan, has scored two goals this season.
Zenit head coach, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Axel-Witsel-c7029 are
likely to leave the St. Petersburg this summer.
The Italian tactician wants to make reinforcement in the striking department in order to ease up some burden off the incredible http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hulk-c16436, who scored 10 goals in all competitions, including two crucial goals in the
UEFA Europa League tie against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 FC.
There is little arguing to the statement that the young Russian forward will become a lethal striker for his club and the national team in the near future after training alongside experienced players such as

Yakovlev urged his side to win the remaining matches of the ongoing campaign to keep alive their slim hopes of securing European berth this season. As things stand, Spartak are at the fourth spot on the league
table with 48 points.
However, they are above Kuban Krasnodar in the standings due to a better goal difference.
