According to a number of reliable sources, the deal to sign Oleksandr Zubkov has taken a major step forward. After Trabzonspor agreed to AEK Athens's latest bid for the player, the focus has now shifted to personal terms as they look to get a deal done. The midfielder is said to be receptive to the move, which would see him join an already talented squad ahead of the run-in. The transfer remains in progress, and with no other clubs involved, AEK Athens look to be negotiating from a comfortable position. So far this season, AEK Athens are steady at both ends (1.81 goals scored per game, 0.61 goals conceded per game). The role for Oleksandr Zubkov would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Reports suggest Trabzonspor are monitoring Sidny Lopes Cabral whereas AEK Athens have not been associated with other players at this stage. More on this story as it develops.
