CSKA Moscow Hoping To Complete Loan Signing Of Aaron Samuel On Wednesday

Russian Premier League pace-setters CSKA Moscow have not given up in their pursuit of long-term transfer target Aaron Samuel, 21.

The Muscovites are amongst the teams interested in the hiring of Seydou Doumbia but have turned their attention to the Guangzhou R&F frontman, with the Ivory Coast national-teamer all but set to move to the English Premier League.

“Partners in China claim that on Wednesday, February 3, will be resolved the question of whether the transfer will take place, with striker Aaron Samuel Olanare joining CSKA on loan, ” Strategic consulting and transfer decisions official Alex Zinin said on Twitter.

Samuel had been linked with a move to AEK Athens in the January transfer window but his agent Atta Aneke quickly dismissed the reports from Greece.

The Russian transfer window remains open for business until February 26, 2016.
