Menager comment on Batrakov catches attention

Aleksey Batrakov, who scored for Galatasaray against Barcelona and then against Lille, is winning praise for his performances. The Russian star, whose transfer to PSG and some English clubs did not go through in the summer transfer window for political reasons, is expected to stand out again with this form.

The English website Team Talk claimed that Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea were interested in the player. Russian Premier League Chairman Alexsandr Alaev said Batrakov is in form and adapting quickly to the team, adding that he believes the player has a bright future. Lokomotiv head coach Mikhail Galaktionov said the player is one of the most talented young footballers in Europe.

A claim published by the Russian news site Euro-Football.Ru has also made headlines. English manager Sean Glending commented on reports that Batrakov is being watched by Premier League giants. Glending said that, in the current situation, it is impossible for a Russian player to come to England, and that this would apply even if the player came from another European club.
