Alexey Batrakov’s representative addresses reported Premier League interest

Vladimir Kuzmichyov, the agent of Galatasaray midfielder Alexey Batrakov, has responded to reports linking the Russian player with leading clubs in the Premier League.

The 21-year-old joined Galatasaray last summer after moving to Turkey from Lokomotiv Moscow.

Batrakov has attracted attention during his first season with the Turkish club, particularly after his performance in the Champions League.

In Galatasaray’s 2-0 victory over Stuttgart in the fourth round, the midfielder scored twice and was named player of the match.

He has now recorded five goals and three assists in 12 appearances for Galatasaray.

Scouts from top Premier League clubs have been monitoring Batrakov during his Champions League performances.
