Former Dynamo player to play for UPL newcomer.
The 'Epicenter' team continues to strengthen its squad and actively work in the transfer market. The Premier League debutant has signed one of the players from 'Chornomorets'.
In the new season, Denis Yanakov will play for 'Epicenter', the club's press service reports.
The experienced 26-year-old Ukrainian midfielder Denis Yanakov has officially changed his club. He left Odessa's 'Chornomorets' and became a player of 'Epicenter'. Information about the duration of the contract and the terms of the transfer has not yet been disclosed.
The transfer of Yanakov is part of the summer restructuring in both teams: 'Chornomorets', after last season, was relegated to the First League, while 'Epicenter', on the contrary, has made its debut in the UPL for the first time in history. For the newcomer of the elite, signing an experienced winger is a strategically important reinforcement.
Last season, Yanakov played 26 matches and scored 5 goals for 'Chornomorets'. He consistently started in the main squad and demonstrated a high level of play in attack.
Thus, signing Denis Yanakov is an important step for the 'Epicenter' team, which is actively developing after entering the UPL, as well as the evolution of 'Chornomorets' after relegation to the First League. This transfer will allow both clubs to strengthen their squads and prepare for the new season with new strengths and opportunities.
