Dynamo Moscow defender Eli Dasa has praised teammate Arsen Zakharyan for handling his on-off move to Chelsea.

The winger saw a move to Chelsea fall through due to financial sanctions on Russia.

After victory over FC Rostov, Dasa told Sport-Express: "I was not at Dynamo when this story took place.

"Zakharyan is a great footballer and a great person. He gives all one hundred percent in training, which he demonstrates in the game.

"If he continues in the same spirit, he can achieve a lot."
