Ghazaryan likely to leave Kazakh club – manager

Several leading players will leave FC Shakhter Karagandy (Kazakhstan) at the end of the season, said club manager Viktor Kumykov, Vesti.kz reports.

“[Colombian midfielder Roger] Cañas, [Kazakh international and club striker Sergey] Khizhnichenko, and [Armenian international and club midfielder Gevorg] Ghazaryan will likely leave our club.

“Cañas has invitations from various countries. [But] I can’t say where Khizhnichenko and Ghazaryan will leave,” Kumykov added. 

In turn FC Kairat Almaty (Kazakhstan) veteran Yusup Shadiev noted that if Ghazaryan is transferred, Shakhter will be able to find an equivalent replacement.   

“Ghazaryan is not [Armenian international and Borussia Dortmund (Germany) midfielder Henrikh] Mkhitaryan, and I don’t think he can strengthen any Russian Premier League club,” Shadiev stated, in particular.
