According to Russian portal sport-express.ru, Lokomotiv Moscow are evaluating the option of making a formal enquiry to the availability of Aleksandr Pavlenko and Artem Dzyuba, whose rights are owned by arch-rival Spartak Moscow. Currently, the duo are away from Spartak as they were leased for a year to Rostov and Tom Tomsk respectively.
With regards to the latter, this is not the first time that the player was linked with a transfer to the red-green part of Moscow. Actually it is believed that Lokomotiv already tried to strike out a deal for the large forward in the last off-season (in which they failed) and thus now they intend to resume negotiations in order to acquire the former U-21 Russian international. Although it's true that he is a Spartak man, I believe that the player could do very well at Lokomotiv. He's agile, strong in the air, has the ability to hold up the ball, fairly technichal and at an age of just 22 years he already boosts European experience. Moreover this year he done pretty well with an average Tom Tomsk side as he scored 7 goals in 18 apperances.
As much like as Dzyuba, Aleksandr Pavlenko is also having a strong season as actually he can be considered as one of the mastermind behind Rostov's very respectable position. Pavlenko, who contributed 4 goals in 21 appearances (both league and cup), is 25 years old and has already made 100 appearances for the meat. In my opinion the Ukranian born attacking midfielder style's resembles very much the one of Loskov as he is very creative, possess a good shot and good freekick and is also able to dictate the tempo of the match. Should the move materialise the player would be a fairly good addition to a squad which is limited in creativity.
