24-year old forward Nikita Burmistrov moved to FC Krasnodar from Anji Makhachkala.

Nikita Burmistrov was born on 6 July 1987 in Primorsk of Kaliningrad Region. He was a trainee of Baltika Kaliningrad. At one of the regional youth tournaments he became the best scorer, so scouts from CSKA liked him and soon he moved to Moscow. In May 2006 in the youth team CSKA (players born in 1989) he became the best scorer at the International tournament Almaty Cup, after it he was transferred to CSKA second team.

On 15 April 2007 Burmistrov had his first show in the main team of CSKA and won the Cup of Russia and bronze medals of the Russian Championship, but his red-and-blue career did not last long - he went on a loan to Luch-Energia from Vladivostok in February 2008. In the Far East team the young forward was not able to get to the main squad, but one year later in Shinnik, where he also played on  a loan, Nikita scored 12 goals during the season and became the best scorer of the team.

In February 2010 Amkar Perm obtained Burmistrov's transfer, and the following two and a half years he spent at the Urals. In the team from Perm, the forward became mature and started to play aggressive, scored several goals, including a very picturesque goal to Krasnodar in the match of  2012/2013 season.

In September 2012 it was announced about Burmistrov moving to Anji, but in this all-star squad it was difficult to distinguish himself for this young forward, so in January 2013 he returned to Perm, this time on a loan.

After the season 2012/13 was over Amkar and Anji agreed on continuing Burmistrov loan for one more season. Nikita started the new championship in Amkar, but in August the owner of Anji Suleyman Kerimov decided to change the vector of club development and terminated the contracts of highly paid foreign players. After almost all the stars were sold in the beginning of the season, the team from Makhachkala extremely needed players, who had an experience of playing in the Premier League.

Now all the conditions of Nikita Burmistrov from Anji to Krasnodar have been agreed upon. The player has undergone medical examination and signed a personal contract with Krasnodar for the period of three years. He will join his new team on 16 June at Chetuk Training Base and will start preparation for the start of the new season 2014/2015, as the website of the club informs.
