Zenit and Eintracht Frankfurt have been observing 22-year-old Belarusian goalkeeper Fyodor Lapoukhov and are closely monitoring his development. Despite the interest from Zenit and Spartak Moscow, Russia is not considered a priority for the player, as he wishes to continue his career in a stronger league in Western Europe. Lapoukhov, who plays for CSKA Sofia, has made 21 appearances in the efbet Liga this season and has 15 caps for Belarus. His contract with the Bulgarian club runs until June 2028, and his current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €1.50m.
