Star claims that Newcastle can get him for just £13 million and that he “wants to go.
Eduard Spertsyan has stated that he is willing to moving to the Premier League and has implied that he will have to accept a pay cut of roughly £13 million from rumored suitors Newcastle United.
And if Edouard Spertsyan’s performances over the past 12 months are any indication, that sum might even be a steal.
A total of five goals and three assists from 11 appearances in the Russian Premier League this season, despite Spertsyan not exactly being a household name in Tyneside or anywhere else in England, only tells half the story of his creative abilities.
According to the Russian website MetaRatings, Newcastle United discovered this playmaker a few months ago when Spertsyan was in charge of Armenia’s crushing victory over Wales in a European Championship qualifying match.
The 23-year-old’s growing list of admirers will undoubtedly have taken note as the Krasnodar talisman opens up about his desire to try something new, even if Newcastle made no offers to him over the summer.\
Eduard Spertsyan could make a comeback to Newcastle.
“Yes (I intend to perform soon in Europe). I have to struggle and work hard for it. Using a helicopter or rushing away from this place are not options for me, Spertsyan declares, as quoted by Tuttomercatoweb.
“I’m glad to be here. But since I don’t know what might occur there, I want to try to travel to Europe while I have the chance. I have faith in my abilities, and I believe I can do even greater feats.
When asked how much money he would need to leave Krasnodar, Spertsyan pondered, “About 15 million euros. At least, that’s what (the club president) believes.
Despite showing interest in players like Gabri Veiga, Dominik Szoboszlai, and James Maddison throughout the summer, Newcastle was unable to bring an attack-minded midfielder to St. James’ Park. So Spertsyan might be someone to watch out for.
Newcastle’s transfer strategy under their Saudi Arabian ownership has tended to center around ‘project’ signings who have only just begun to realize his potential, even though he is far from the final item.
“Visit Newcastle.”
“(Russian clubs) do not participate in European leagues. Who follows our league, too? Roman Pavlyuchenko, a former Russia and Tottenham striker, thinks that if this interest is genuine, such offers cannot be turned down (MetaRatings).
“I’d suggest Edward travel to Newcastle. He appears like he’ll play. I’d carry that out.
TMW claims that Juventus, Ajax, and Fiorentina are also interested.
