The head coach of Spartak denied a report that the FC is interested in signing on Kuban right-winger Aras Ozibilis and Malaga’s Joaquín Sánchez.

“They both are great players,” Valery Karpin said. “Yet the info on our intention to sign them on is absurd.”

Earlier reports suggested that Dinamo, Rubin and Spartak football clubs were interested in hiring Ozibilis.
