CSKA won competition from Spartak, Dynamo, Lokomotiv, NN and Rodina for the winger of the Russian national team: all these clubs competed for the graduate of the Rostov Academy - Ekupyan, but the horses turned out to be the fastest of them all. You got it, you won't believe it - in the heart. Previously, the championship reported on Edward's transfer without details.
The father of the 16-year-old prospect is a former football player (he showed good football in his youth, but at the age of 17 he graduated at the insistence of his father and focused on studies). He communicated with all the registered teams, but the personal participation of the sports director of the army and the great interest in the guy from CSKA decided the result.
Akopian's contract ends on December 31. Haika and his men met with the footballer's father several times, but he refused to renew the agreement. Moreover, the Rostovs missed the deadline by not offering the boy to extend the contract in time - so now the Cossacks cannot claim compensation for this.
What catches your eye when you watch Acupian play? Sharp penetrating passes (the best in Rostov U-18 in terms of offensive passes - 42). He shakes behind his back, as if a central striker is holding him (he plays right forward in the club, left forward in the national team). Break through strong defenses by dribbling and changing movements. Left leg kick.
CSKA has agreed on a 3-year contract with Akopyan; they are taking him to the youth team with an eye on the first team. In the USFL he played in the U-18/19, became the top scorer/goal+pass (16+6|26), made his MFL debut (1+0|4), was called up to the 15-16-17 youth teams (4+5|9). Adik will now try the red and blue colors," reports Karp.
