Pavel Pogrebnyak did not compare the newly joined player Jerson Santos of Saint Petersburg's "Zenit" team with the club's previous famous players Hulk and Axel Witsel. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to them, Hulk is creative and has a powerful shot, while Witsel primarily performed defensive duties at "Atletico." Therefore, Jerson can only be compared to their level in terms of price, Pogrebnyak said in an interview with "Sport-Express."
Jerson's transfer to "Zenit" is valued at 25 million euros. His previous club is Brazil's prestigious team "Flamengo."
Hulk played for "Zenit" from 2012 to 2016 and is currently active in his homeland, Brazil. Witsel also played for "Zenit" from 2012 to 2016, and now at 36 years old, he left Madrid's "Atletico" last season.
This information provides a clear picture of the players' careers and their performances in the club.
