Maksim Mukhin signs for CSKA

Lokomotiv Moscow’s teenage midfielder Maksim Mukhin has left the club to join cross-city rivals CSKA. The full Russian international has signed a five-year contract with the Armymen.

Last season Mukhin made his top-flight debut for the Railroaders against Dynamo Moscow before establishing himself as a first-team regular after the winter break. He also became a Russian Cup winner.

He is currently in Austria at the pre-Euro 2020 training camp with the national team, for whom he made his debut in March this year.
