Zhirkov backed for Blues move
-
CSKA Moscow coach Zico says he would not block Yuri Zhirkov from joining Chelsea in the summer.
Zhirkov, who can play anywhere down the left-hand side, has been linked with a £15million move to Stamford Bridge.
He is a key part of Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink's plans with the Russian national team, with reports claiming the Dutchman has advised Blues owner Roman Abramovich to sign Zhirkov.
Zico believes the 25-year-old would be a success in the Premier League and would not stand in the way of a transfer to Chelsea.
"Zhirkov is a player of such high level, he would only show all his potential playing in such a strong competition as the English Premier League," said Zico in The Sun.
"He'd easily fit into Chelsea's first-choce team. I don't like to lose him, but I won't stop his move to London."
