Dmitriy Bulykin, a former Bayer Leverkusen forward, responded to the question of who could replace Spartak's forward Manfred Ugalde. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Earlier, there were reports that the 23-year-old Costa Rican player wanted to leave Spartak. According to Bulykin, Sergeyev can easily replace Ugalde.
Ivan has already shown his ability to play and score. Ugalde, on the other hand, only demonstrated this ability in the second season, but faced difficulties in the second half of the championship.
Last season, in the Russian Premier League, Ugalde managed to score 17 goals in 29 matches, becoming the league's top scorer. This result indicates that the forward is of a high level and confirms that he is an important player for the team.
Currently, the team is working on filling his position, as having a strong and reliable forward in Spartak is considered crucial. Ugalde's departure could be a significant loss for the team, so it is necessary to quickly fill his spot.
According to Bulykin, Sergeyev is capable of handling this task.
