Former Lokomotiv (Nizhny Novgorod) head coach Valery Ovchinnikov expressed his opinion regarding the transfer of midfielder Jedson Fernandes to Moscow's Spartak team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

According to reports, Spartak paid a record amount of 20 million euros plus various bonuses for the new player. Some sources claim that this amount has reached 27 million euros.

Valery Ovchinnikov emphasized that Spartak aims to compete with the Zenit team through this transfer and wants to show that they can also buy any player. According to the expert, the transfer of Jedson Fernandes will increase the overall value of Spartak's squad, but it is still early to draw conclusions about his performance and benefits in the game.

Additionally, there have been reports that Spartak is also interested in Christopher Wu, a defender from France's Rennes club and a Cameroonian player. For this reason, the club is actively working to strengthen its squad and improve results.

Experts believe that such transfers serve to enhance the team's chances in the season.
