After the official announcement of the new coach Slutsky, Shenhua's coach change drama finally came to an end. Although Slutsky has not yet officially arrived, he already has a target for recruitment, which is Dzyuba who made a name for himself at the World Cup in Russia.
After Shenhua's official announcement, Slutsky's agent Dmitry Selyuk said in an interview with Russian media that Slutsky is confident that he will invite Dzyuba to play in the Chinese Super League. Obviously, this is the target that Slutsky has set for Shenhua.
The 35-year-old currently plays for Lokomotiv Moscow in the Russian Premier League. He made 13 appearances last season, scoring eight goals and providing five assists. So far this season he has made 19 appearances, scoring four goals and providing four assists. Judging by the number of goals, Djuba's goal efficiency has dropped significantly this season.
For Jiuba, a potential target for recruitment, Shenhua fans have different attitudes, many fans think that he is too old, and some fans think of Kim Shinyu brought by Cui Kangxi, and they are not optimistic about Jiuba's joining. But there are also fans who think that this may be a good value for money option.
However, so far, the introduction of Dzyuba should only be the idea of a new coach, and has not yet entered the stage of substantive recruitment. However, Slutsky's signal also shows that he is not too satisfied with the ability of Shenhua's existing strikers.
According to the report of "Xinmin Evening News", Shenhua's foreign aid Amadou and Malele are expected to stay in the team, while Basogo will leave the team, and Shenhua also needs to find new striker foreign aid. The Chinese Super League winter transfer window is about to open, and Shenhua's specific recruitment targets may be revealed soon.
