Russia midfielder Vladimir Bystrov has rejoined former club Zenit St Petersburg from Spartak Moscow.

Bystrov had previously been linked with a move to Everton in the Premier League.

Zenit announced that they had signed a five-year contract with the speedy winger only for Spartak to issue a denial. A few hours later, however, the Moscow club confirmed the deal.

Bystrov, 25, a product of Zenit's youth system, joined Spartak in 2005 in a move that angered St Petersburg fans.

Media reports said big-spenders Zenit had paid 15 million euros (£13.17 million) for Bystrov.

  1. Jez Taylor...spot-on! These adverts get on my nerves.­­ We don't want free playstations! Back to­­ football.....What a tough draw in the Europa League.­­ Bill Kenwright,­ if you're reading this, please­­ pull out all the­ stops with funds and let Moyes bring­­ in another 5­ quality players. We will need them now­­ we're in the toughest Europa League group. I think­­ the 4 new­ signings Moyes was touting will be...Distin­­ (obviously), Banega,­ Shawcross (seeing as Stoke now­­ have Huth. Maybe a deal­ was done so Moyes didn't­­ bid on Huth) and...I'm­ not sure. I'll say­­ Steven Taylor I'd love it to be Moutinho, Veloso,­­ Van­ Der Vaart or Defour. Moyes is keeping it close to­­ his­ chest and I trust him. But we do need a pacey­­ striker.­ Jo isn't good enough or fast enough and­­ the Yak has­ never been a sprinter. We miss Andy­­ Johnson (I'd­ have him back in a flash if he­ wanted­ to be back) but I­ think Ameobi or Beckford­ would be­ excellent. But what an amazing 12 months.­ Last year we­ were trying to sign Alan Smith!!!
