The 22-year-old attacking midfielder of the Armenian national team and Slovakia's Žilina Vahan Bichakhchyan has drawn the interest of Russian Premier League clubs, Bichakhchyan's representative Yuri Gorbenko has revealed.

“We are currently in dialogue with several clubs from the top of the RPL table about the transfer of Vahan Bichakhchyan. He is a talented Armenian player who, moreover, may not be considered a legionnaire (a foreign player - Ed.) in our country,” Gorbenko was quoted by Sport Express as saying.

Back in 2016, Bichakhchyan was named one of the 60 best young talents in world soccer in The Guardian’s “Next Generation” list, which identified some of the best players born in 1999.
