Zenit St Petersburg to bid for Nicolas Gaitan?

Benfica winger Nicolas Gaitan will reportedly find himself the subject of a bid from Zenit St Petersburg during the summer.

Gaitan has just helped the Portuguese giants achieve the domestic treble, and the Argentine had no hesitation in pledging his allegiance to AS Aguias earlier this month.

However, according to Russian newspaper Izvestia, Zenit St Petersburg, who are coached by Andre Villas-Boas, are ready to test Benfica's resolve with a lucrative bid for the 26-year-old.

Gaitan, who netted eight goals in 42 appearances during the last campaign, has two years left on his existing contract.
