Artem Dzyuba calls on Real Madrid to sign him

Experienced striker Artem Dzyuba has urged Real Madrid to make a move for him this summer.

The 31-year-old will see his contract at Zenit St Petersburg expire at the end of June, meaning that, as it stands, he will be available on a free transfer ahead of the 2020-21 campaign.

Clubs from Germany, England and Italy have allegedly expressed an interest, but the Russia international has revealed that he would choose Madrid over any other side.

"Ever since I was little, I have been a fan of Real Madrid," Dyzuba said on an Instagram Live. "Raul, Roberto Carlos, [Fernando] Redondo and Ronaldo all played there. If they let me choose, I would play there."

The striker has been in impressive form for Zenit during the 2019-20 season, scoring 15 times and contributing 12 assists in 28 appearances in all competitions, including two Champions League goals.

Dzyuba, who stands at 6ft 5in, has also registered 24 goals in 42 appearances for Russia.
