Dmytro Mykhailenko: 'Arseniy Batagov is a perfect fit for Italy'

Arseniy Batagov, who Trabzonspor signed at the beginning of last season, has made European clubs chase him with his performance this season.

'VERY SUITABLE FOR ITALY'

Ukraine U-19 Technical Director Dmytro Mykhailenko made important statements about the 23-year-old Ukrainian stopper in an interview. Saying that Batagov's value is over 10 million euros, Mykhailenko said, "He is definitely worth over ten million euros. Not 5-7 million, definitely over 10 million. The most important question is whether he can adapt psychologically. Can he handle the pressure, can he overcome the new league challenges and can he remain stable? Stability is very important. They play matches week in and week out, week in and week out, over and over again."

Finally, Dmytro Mykhailenko concluded by saying that Batagov is a good fit for Italy:

"If he goes to Italy, he is a player of that level. Maybe not Inter or Milan, but Lazio or teams a little bit behind the top five or six teams. He has all the skills. His physical build is suitable for the top leagues; he lacks neither speed nor strength. Everyone who goes there from Ukraine are elite athletes, they are at the highest level. Arseniy may not look like it at first glance, but believe me, he is just as talented."

PERFORMANCE

Arseniy Batagov played 19 official matches for Trabzonspor this season and contributed 2 assists in these matches.
