Former Dynamo Moscow striker Ruslan Pimenov says everyone's a winner over Arsen Zakharyan's move to Chelsea.

Chelsea are set to pay the 19 year-old's €15m buyout clause to take him to London.

Pimenov told Sport-Express: "If this is true, then this is very good for Arsen, and for Russian football, and for Dynamo, which has raised its player to the level of Chelsea.

"It will be a winning transfer for everyone. As for his chances to play in England, everything depends on him. Of course, it won't be easy.

"There are athletic players, Arsen is inferior to them in this component, but, I hope, he compensates for this through technique."
