Recently, Lokomotiv's defender Ilya Samoshnikov transferred to Spartak club. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
This news was commented on by former "Railwaymen" player Dmitriy Sennikov. According to Sennikov, Ilya is an experienced footballer who showed a decent performance last season with Lokomotiv.
However, he should have carefully considered all aspects before moving to Spartak, as it is currently not easy for him to find a spot there. The expert emphasized that Samoshnikov's departure was a significant loss for Lokomotiv.
He is considered a perfect player who can play on both wings for the Moscow team. Last season, the 27-year-old defender appeared in 33 matches across all competitions, scoring four goals and providing four assists.
This clearly demonstrates his contribution to the team. Samoshnikov's departure may lead to a noticeable gap in Lokomotiv's defensive line.
The team management and coaches now need to look for new options to fill this gap.
