Forward of the Belarusian Football national football team, Sergei Kornilenko, who spent the first half of the current season at Tomi, will sign a contract with the St. Petersburg Zenit in the coming days.
“Kornilenko will join us next week and start training with the team,” the Zenit press service quotes the head coach of Dick Lawyer. “This is a valuable acquisition and strengthening. If he plays well, he will go to matches, if bad - sit on a bench.”
Kornilenko moved to Tom from the Dnipropetrovsk Dnieper last winter, signing a contract for two and a half years. In the current Russian Championship, he spent 11 matches and scored six goals. Now, we recall, the Tomsk club is experiencing serious financial problems and its leadership allowed the players to look for options for future employment.
The assets of the 26-year-old striker also also have 30 games and 9 goals scored by the Belarusian team, reminds UEFA.com .
