Veikkausliiga: Yevgeni Bashkirov is close to a transfer to Gnistan

IF Gnistan continues to hunt players who have proven their level in the Veikkausliiga from the player market. Gnistan wants a Russian who has played in Vaasa Palloseura for the last two seasons Yevgeny Bashkirov to his team.

According to two independent sources, Gnistan has been in discussions with Bashkirov for some time.

Last Saturday, VPS published Bashkirov’s farewell message. Bashkirov played 64 matches in VPS, where he scored eight goals.

The 33-year-old Baškirov moved to Finland in the spring of 2023 from Zaglebie Lubin of the Polish main league. Bashkirov told then Ilta-Sanom condemning Russia’s military actions.

“I cannot accept what the Russians are doing in Ukraine. I feel sad about it, but my feelings are nothing compared to what the Ukrainians are going through,” Bashkirov said.

Bashkirov’s transfer to Gnistan was reported earlier MTV.

Gnistan is currently looking for players for his team who have proven their level in the Veikkausliiga.
