Anzhi are planning a new raid on Blackburn Rovers this summer.
After landing Christopher Samba in January, Anzhi are now chasing his former Rovers teammate Steven Nzonzi.
The 23 year-old Frenchman is expected to move in the summer and has also been linked with Manchester United and Arsenal.
Tvoi Den says Anzhi and Spartak Moscow are battling to take him to the Russian Premier League at the end of the season.
