Emenike was on verge of move to Lokomotiv or Dinamo Moscow says agent [divider]
Fenerbahçe striker Emmanuel Emenike was close to a move to Lokomotiv Moscow or Dinamo Moscow according to football agent Malik Arutyunov.
“Lokomotiv Moscow and Dinamo Moscow were both interested, we held talks with Emenike’s agent Erdem Konyar in Antalya but could not agree a price,” Arutyunov told Radyospor.
“The Russian currency took a hit recently and the value dropped in contrast to the Dollar and Euro otherwise this deal would have gone ahead.”
