Igor Semshov has agreed personal terms at FC Zenit St. Petersburg, the 30-year-old Russian international thanking "the fans, sponsors and club bosses" at FC Dinamo Moskva after completing his move to the Petrovsky Stadium.
Terms agreed
Zenit and Dinamo had already signed the transfer documents for the midfielder but the move has now been completed with Semshov settling his personal demands. The one-time PFC CSKA Moskva trainee joined Dinamo from FC Torpedo Moskva in 2006, and scored 17 goals in 85 league games for the club. "I want to say thanks to the fans, sponsors and club bosses for the full support during my time at the club," he told uefa.com. Zenit finished third in their UEFA Champions League Group H to book a place in Friday's UEFA Cup Round of 32 draw.
