Ugarov: Malcom's the worst signing in Zenit Saint Petersburg history

Ugarov: Malcom's the worst signing in Zenit Saint Petersburg history

The former midfielder didn't hold back when assessing the ex-Barcelona man

Malcom left Barcelona in search of minutes after failing to break into the team following his €40 million move from Bordeaux.

However, things haven't gone well in Russia, where he joined Zenit Saint Petersburg, with criticism arriving from Denis Ugarov this week.

"Malcom's not a football player," the former Zenit midfielder told Todomercadoweb. "For the money the club spent on him, he should be running the attack and helping the defence.

"But he's limited to walking around the pitch and waving his arms. For me, he's the worst signing in the club's history. We need to get rid of the burden."

Zenit paid Barça €40m for the Brazilian after just one season at Camp Nou, but it seems he has not delivered on his transfer fee.
