‘He must join Chelsea’ – Former Arsenal player reveals as highly rated player wants Chelsea move
To put it mildly, Chelsea’s summer transfer window was extremely eventful, but there was also that one deal that fell through.
The Blues weren’t just trying to add players who could immediately strengthen the starting lineup when they arrived; they were also keeping an eye out for players who were poised to break out as the next great thing.
They tried to sign highly rated up and coming Russian talent Arsen Zakharyan from Dynamo Moscow. But due to complications with him being allowed to make the move, that one didn’t happen. However, it is expected to be re-visited in the winter transfer window this January.
Zakharyan has been praised by fellow countryman and former Arsenal player Andrey Arshavin, who says he was not upset that Zakharyan didn’t join Chelsea this summer, but in the same sentence also says that ‘he must join Chelsea.’ Arshavin believes Zakharyan will soon become a Chelsea starter…

"I'm not upset that Zakharyan's transfer to Chelsea failed." Well, he will join in January.
At first, he will not be starter, but then he will be. He must join Chelsea. "#CFC #Transfers pic.twitter.com/SPdO83xcSQ
