Arshavin: Sobolev may play more in the new season

Former footballer Andrey Arshavin, who is currently serving as the deputy chairman for sports development at the "Zenit" team, shared his thoughts on the future prospects of the team's forward Aleksandr Sobolev. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

According to Arshavin, Sobolev will play an even more important role in the team in the new season; if the composition of the forwards does not change, Sobolev will remain one of the key players. However, if a new forward is purchased for the team, Sobolev may spend less time on the field. Aleksandr Sobolev transferred from Moscow "Spartak" to "Zenit".

His contract with the "blue-white-black" team is set to last until mid-2027. Last season, Sobolev managed to score seven goals and provided three assists. The quality and efficiency of Sobolev's play will be crucial in determining his future role in the team.

The leadership of "Zenit" and the coaching staff are striving to create opportunities for him to improve his performance. Increasing Sobolev's role is considered important for achieving the team's goals in the new season.
