Zhirkov has not agreed to join Chelsea

CSKA Moscow winger Yuri Zhirkov insists he has not agreed a deal to join Premier League giants Chelsea.

Reports suggested Zhirkov had agreed a summer move to Stamford Bridge.

The 25-year-old said: “I honestly know as much about it as everyone else.

“I read the papers, listen to the radio and I am genuinely surprised, given that no actual offer from Chelsea exists.”

He added: “Clearly we are talking about one of the best clubs in the world, who regularly compete at the highest level.

“It is very possible that I would say yes.

“But before that I would have to weigh up the pros and cons.

“To sit on the bench and only get on the pitch from time to time doesn’t interest me, not even at Chelsea.

“Moreover, I have nothing to lose by staying here, given that CSKA now have a very interesting team who will begin competing in the Champions League next season.”
