Dynamo Moscow midfielder Arsen Zakharyan has revealed he received an offer from Chelsea in the summer window and is hoping to move in January.
The Blues were heavily linked with a move for Zakharyan this summer. The two clubs reportedly agreed to sign the midfielder before the transfer window shut. However, the deal never came to fruition.
Arsen Zakharyan said: “There was an offer from Chelsea, but it was impossible to complete a transfer. Of course, I accepted – how can I reject that?
“I hope everything will be done soon. Maybe in January,” Zakharyan said.
Dynamo Moscow confirmed they received an offer from Chelsea for Zakharyan in August but a transfer was described as “impossible” due to a “number of technical reasons beyond our control.” The midfielder has confirmed the approach was made and is not giving up hope he could still head to Stamford Bridge soon.
