CSKA expect Chelsea target Golovin to be snapped up

Cape Town - CSKA president Evgeniy Giner feels that Aleksandr Golovin's future will be resolved 'in the next couple of days' amid interest from Chelsea and Monaco.

The 22-year-old starred for hosts Russia at the 2018 World Cup as they defied expectations to make it to the quarter-finals.

He is reportedly the target for a number of sides but Chelsea and Monaco are said to be in pole position.

Speaking to Sport24, Giner said that there has been no official approach for the talented midfielder, but he expects a move to happen soon.

He said: "I believe that [he] can grow into a big star.

"I'm not sure that this can happen in the Russian championship. The level of the English Premier League or the championship of Spain is much higher.

"In order not to ruin [him], we must let him go.

"But we have no solution for today. When we receive an offer, we always try to negotiate openly. Indeed, we were visited by the vice-president of Monaco [Vadim Vasilyev] and he made a proposal for Golovin.

"If we talk about Chelsea, then there is no closed agreement with them. But the question of his transition will be decided, I think, in the next couple of days."
