Zakharyan is an attacking midfielder 19 years of age. He has won six Russian caps till now. This promising young talent is on the Chelsea club’s radar. Though this Premier League club is eager to pick up this player, he is one among several young talents who are on their radar. It is not yet apparent that he would be part of the club this summer. Zakharyan on the other hand has been featuring for Dynamo regularly. He is also keen to switch over to London. In all the competitions he has made 22 appearances, six assists, and three goals.

In general, a contract with this Moscow club would be valued at 13 million pounds. The youngster joined Dynamo in 2020-21 when he became the youngest scorer in the league and the third youngest of the club. He netted his first goal as a senior in February 2021. 

The Russian football union has been considering a switch to the Asian Football Confederation. However, the union’s members who are part of the executive committee have not yet expressed their intent. Alexander Dyukov is head of the union and stated that their intent is not yet clear whether they want to switch over to the Asian federation. It is considered a possibility since the confederation has been suspended by the European confederation UEFA. It is also a reason why many footballers from individual clubs in Russia are looking to transfer to other international clubs.
