Former footballer Konstantin Lepyohin evaluated the performance of Jerson Santos, who joined Saint Petersburg's Zenit team as a summer transfer, in the current season. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to Lepyohin, Jerson is currently an unclear new player for Zenit. He plays in the central position on the field, but unlike other players in this position, he has not yet brought significant benefit to the team.
If someone else had played in this position, the team's results might have been different. So far, Jerson has not demonstrated his important skills.
According to the expert, at least half a year is needed to better assess the Brazilian player's performance, as he has not yet fully adapted to the team. Jerson Santos was purchased from Flamengo club for 25 million euros.
In Russia, he has appeared in five matches but has not yet stood out with a goal or assist. Currently, his team is in ninth place in the competition table with six points.
Thus, the player's contribution to the team is not yet noticeable, and his upcoming games will be closely watched.
