Football: Russia’s Zenit and Rubin FCs eye Kazakhstan footballer

Bauyrzhan Islamkhan, Taraz FC midfielder, became an object of close regard of several famous Russia’s football clubs: Zenit, Rubin and several others, Aktobe club's coach Aleksey Kossolapov said in an interview to SportsDaily.ru. The expert said that the 19-y.o. halfback is the only footballer, who is worth putting an eye on in the Kazakhstan Championship. “This guy has a great future,” Kossolapov said. “Clearly, it will be difficult for him to play for Zenit now, but he’s got a good chance of becoming a decent player.” Sergey Lomakin, Zenit club’s assistant manager, who is responsible for selection of new players, has been keeping a sharp eye on the young Kazakhstan’s footballer during the last two CIS Cups. He gave a positive feedback on the footballer later. Bauyrazhan Islamkhan signed a contract with Taraz FC in 2011. He started playing in the national football team of Kazakhstan in 2012. He was named the best footballer of the CIS Cup in 2012. Here is a selection of videos of Bauyrazhan Islamkhan's playing in the CIS Cup 2013:
