Uzbekistan national team forward Igor Sergeev will continue his career in the Iranian championship. The transfer of the 32-year-old forward has been officially announced by Persepolis - this news was also quite interesting and one of the most anticipated news for Uzbek fans.
It is noted that the agreement between the parties is designed for 1.5 years. During this period, Sergeev is expected to receive a salary of around $1.5 million. This, naturally, testifies to his status in the new team and the trust placed in him.
"When I was coming to Persepolis, I consulted with Oston Urunov. This club has amazing fans. I am happy to be here.
I knew a lot about Iranian teams, I have many good friends here. I haven't played for Persian teams before, now it's time to try it out.
Let it be a secret how many goals I score, we'll talk at the end of the season," Sergeev said.
Another pleasant aspect: Uzbekistan national team midfielder Oston Urunov is already playing for Persepolis. This means Sergeev will be with his "own man" in adapting to the new environment - a big plus for any player.
Igor Sergeev's performance in the last season is a separate story: he played in 38 matches for Pakhtakor, scored 25 goals, and provided 3 assists. Such numbers are a very significant "visit" for the striker - now he will try to transfer the spirit of these goals to the Iranian fields as well.
In short, a new page opened for Sergeev: a new championship, a new demand, a new pressure. But if you're in shape - goals won't keep you waiting. And it's clear that fans will now watch the Uzbek duo at "Persepolis" with even greater interest.
