Russian Star Chooses Real Sociedad over Chelsea
Arsen Zakharyan, a former target of Chelsea, has made headlines by taking a brutal swipe at the club, leaving fans shocked. The West London club had been strongly linked with a move for Zakharyan, but ultimately missed out on signing him this summer. The Russian international instead joined Real Sociedad in a deal worth over £11 million from Dynamo Moscow.
No Regrets
In a recent interview, Zakharyan revealed that he has no regrets about choosing Real Sociedad over Chelsea. He stated, "For me, it was more interesting to come to Real Sociedad than to Chelsea. It was also a more realistic option. I realized that I was already a Real player when I signed, and I was worried about some issues during the negotiation but now… here I am."
Social Media Taunts
Rival fans wasted no time in jumping on social media to tease Chelsea over Zakharyan's comments. Many took the opportunity to criticize the club's current situation. One fan tweeted, "No one wants to go to Chelsea. They're going down fast." Another added, "Chelsea rejected… Painful!" And a third commented, "He doesn't want to be 12th in the Premier League."
Impressed Fans
However, not all fans were critical of Zakharyan's remarks. Some praised his courage in choosing Real Sociedad over Chelsea, emphasizing the importance of players prioritizing their own interests. One fan tweeted, "I admire Arsen's courage in choosing Real Sociedad over Chelsea. It's refreshing to see players prioritize their own interests and find a more realistic option that suits them." Another added, "This was probably a better move for his career."
New Beginnings
Since joining Real Sociedad, the 20-year-old has made two appearances for the club, both coming off the bench. It remains to be seen how Zakharyan's career will develop, but for now, his decision to snub Chelsea has certainly caused a stir.
