| Chelsea winger Zhirkov joins Anzhi Makhachkala Posted: 06 Aug 2011 08:19 AM PDT MOSCOW, Aug 6 – Russia and Chelsea winger Yuri Zhirkov has signed a four-year contract with Anzhi Makhachkala, the Russian Premier League side said today. Zhirkov, who joined Chelsea from CSKA Moscow two years ago, returns to Russia after struggling to break into the first team at Stamford Bridge. "I'm very happy to be here in Makhachkala," Zhirkov, who turns 28 later this month, told the crowd after being introduced before Anzhi's home league match against Tom Tomsk today. "I hope to make my Anzhi debut in our next game against Spartak Moscow (next Sunday)." The versatile left-sided player becomes the latest high-profile signing by the club from the volatile North Caucasus region. Former Brazil fullback Roberto Carlos signed a two-and-a-half year deal with Anzhi, backed by Russian billionaire Suleiman Kerimov, in February. – Reuters Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by Used Car Search. |

The defeat was an inauspicious start for new Inter coach Gian Piero Gasperini, who replaced Leonardo during the close season. – Reuters Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by Used Car Search. |
