Russian Premier League club CSKA Moscow are mulling over a move for Nigeria international Brian Idowu,the Army Men are interested in signing the versatile Super Eagles defender but negotiations with the player have yet to begin.
Some unnamed mid-table teams in the Russian Premier League are also monitoring the situation of Brian Idowu.
The Saint Petersburg-born Idowu is free to talk to interested clubs as Amkar Perm stopped being a going concern last month and on top of that he is being owed wages by the club. Russian Premier League rules state that Idowu will now be classed as a foreigner despite being a Russian citizen as he made his competitive debut for the Nigerian National Team against Croatia on June 16.The 26-year-old has spent the whole of his career in Russia, playing for Smena-Zenit, Zenit St. Petersburg, Dynamo St. Petersburg and Amkar Perm.
