Lepyohin: Jerson is not a superstar in Russia but useful

Konstantin Lepyohin, a former player of the "blue-white-sky blue" team, shared his opinion about the performances of the Brazilian midfielder Jerson. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

He said that he had watched Jerson's play and emphasized that it is difficult to give a precise evaluation of his game. According to Lepyohin, Jerson cannot be criticized, but there is also no reason to praise him.

The current results of the "Zenit" team show that something is still missing in the squad. Jerson does not appear as a superstar, but they will not leave Russia, Lepyohin said in an interview with the "Chempionat" publication.

Jerson is 28 years old and joined the club on the banks of the Neva River in the summer of 2025. His transfer fee amounted to 25 million euros.

The contract with the Brazilian footballer is valid until June 30, 2030. So far, Jerson has not scored a goal for the Saint Petersburg club.

His addition to the team is expected to help improve the results. The player is striving to further improve his game and carries great responsibility before the team.
