— I’m glad to come back home and to play for Zenit. Nice to wear these colours once again. I will try my best to use the opportunity in the best way possible. Waiting for the preseason work to start.

Boris Livanov, Zenit-2 head coach:

— We’re glad to welcome Konstantin in our team. It’s good that a player who was raised in our academy is coming back after he got some decent experience in Superleague. He’s capable of both helping the team and improving his own game.
