Levenets & Kaita officially leave Lokomotiv

Today Lokomotiv came into a mutual agreement with keeper Ivan Levenets to terminate his contract with Lokomotiv. Although the news came out on Friday it was only today that the departure was made official. In the mean time, another official departure is that of Nigerian midfielder Sani Kaita (pictured). Lokomotiv decided against to take the buy-out option stipulated in his contract and thus the player will return to Monaco. Recall that Kaita joined Lokomotiv last August on loan. Kaita just made 3 appearances for Lokomotiv, the last one coming during the 2-1 loss to Terek. From this blog I wish to thank the two for their service. Good luck for the future.

On the other hand Lokomotiv welcome back both Draman Traore and Haminu Dramani from their seasonal loan at Kuban. Although the latter is rumoured of leaving the capital, nothing was heard with regards to the Malian striker. Personally I wouldn't too disappointed at all if he rests at Lokomotiv. Actually I believe he did fairly well at Kuban; 8 goals in 27 appearances is not a bad ratio at all. On the other hand Haminu Draman, who managed the same number of appearances as Traore scored three times. Another two who returned to Lokomotiv after that their respective loan contract came to an end were Moldovan international Stanislav Ivanov and youngster Andrey Kuznetsov who played the last 6 months for Krylya Sovetov Samara and Lokomotiv-2 Moscow respectively. The Moldovan made 10 appearances for the Soviet Wings.
