Impressive campaign
Semshov should complete the move on his return from holiday but fuller details of the transfer are not yet known. The 27-year-old ends an eight-year spell at the Torpedo stadium having arrived from PFC CSKA Moskva in 1998. That period has seen him score 55 goals in 228 league games, while Semshov's 12 strikes last season made him the Premier-Liga's third highest goalscorer.
Third signing
Semshov will become Dinamo's third high-profile signing of the winter, as the club seek to strengthen the squad after a disappointing eighth-place finish in 2005. Dmitri Khokhlov and Sergei Ovchinnikov have already joined from FC Lokomotiv Moskva.
