Second stage in Russia

Kazan (2012-14) and Zenith (2014-15), with which he was proclaimed champion of the Russian Super Cup in 2015. Between both teams he achieved 52 goals and distributed eleven assists.
Kazan joins to reinforce the attacking line of the historical CSKA, second in the league standings four points behind the lead, which occupies precisely the Zenith, after nineteen encounters.
