Ruslan Rotan in high demand

Russian daily Izvestia understands that a number of Russian Premier League sides are showing interest in Dnipro midfielder Ruslan Rotan.

The 31-year-old has long ago become an important player for both club and country and his consistent performances did not go unnoticed.

According to Izvestia, Dinamo Moscow, Kuban Krasnodar and FK Krasnodar are considering moves for the highly rated footballer.

With the player’s current deal due to expire in January 2014, there is every chance that he will be leaving Dnipro in the winter transfer window.

After spending his entire career in the Ukrainian league, Rotan is determined to test his skills in a more competitive championship, and a move to Russia seems like the logical thing to do.

And while the player is unlikely to be too interested in joining either of the two clubs from Krasnodar, a switch to Dinamo Moscow, who have signed quite a few high-profile players this summer, is likely to appeal to him.
