Kornilenko: Samoshnikov is a good transfer for Spartak

Former footballer Sergey Kornilenko commented on the possibility of Lokomotiv defender Ilya Samoshnikov transferring to Spartak. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

According to the latest information, the player has undergone a medical examination at the new club and is preparing to sign a contract. As Kornilenko emphasized, Samoshnikov can strengthen Spartak's defense, as he is capable of playing on both the right and left flanks in a system with four defenders.

This is a good opportunity for Spartak because Samoshnikov's high speed and appropriate youthfulness will benefit the team. According to the expert, this transfer is an important achievement for the club.

Additionally, Kornilenko highly valued Samoshnikov's ability to deliver dangerous throw-ins into the opponent's penalty area. This season, the 27-year-old defender has represented Lokomotiv in only two matches.

He recently recovered and returned to the field after a knee injury sustained in the spring months.
