Former CSKA Moscow midfielder Dmitry Kuznetsov has questioned the hype around Aleksandr Golovin.
Golovin is being linked with a £15m move to Chelsea next month.
But Kuznetsov has questioned the young attacker's quality and whether he can cut it at a higher level.
He declared: "Golovin has too many touches of the ball.
"When a pass can be given in one action, he somehow makes three or four touches.
"(Against Spartak this weekend) there was one moment near the penalty area when he took five touches to control the ball and a chance was lost."
In England, it's suggested Chelsea will seek to sign Golovin before loaning him back to CSKA for the remainder of the season.
