Zambia striker Emmanuel Mayuka is still going to Russia but not to Spartak Moscow.

According to the UK Daily Mail, the Southampton reject who is not in Ronald Koemans’ plans for the 2015/2016 season is heading to Krylia Sovetov after he was earlier linked with a move to Spartak.

“Southampton striker Emmanuel Mayuka is joining FC Krylia Sovetov Samara in the Russian Premier League. The 24-year-old Zambia international signed in 2012 but has failed to make an impression and had a loan spell with Sochaux in 2013-14,” The Daily mail reports.

Mayuka is set to be the second Zambian to play for Krylia after the late striker Chaswe Nsofwa who played for the club in 2003.

The 24-year-old failed to score in his 16 Premier League games at Southampton following his £3 million transfer in 2012 from Swiss club Young Boys.

Mayuka’s only competitive goal came a 5-1 Capital One Cup win away to Barnsley in 2013.

  1. This boy should just go back home or RSA as playing in front of those neo-Nazi fans in Russia is not pleasant…the boy is so bad that even the lower division clubs in England didn’t even take notice of him!!
