Rostov commitments
Kanyenda will join Lokomotiv on a five-year contract after playing in Rostov's next three league games. The 22-year-old has been with the Premier-Liga team since 2003, having also scored 26 goals in 46 appearances for South African side Jomo Cosmos.
Vital goals
He has found the target eleven times in 62 matches for Rostov and helped the club reach the Russian Cup final in 2003. However, Kanyenda has registered only twice this season, although those goals brought second-from-bottom Rostov their first points of the campaign against FC Shinnik Yaroslavl and FC Rubin Kazan.
