Scouting Report & Player Insights
Arsen Zakharyan is a technical Russian attacking midfielder known for his close control, quick feet, and eye for a incisive pass between the lines. He arrived at Real Sociedad in 2023 with a big reputation from Dinamo Moscow but has seen his development badly interrupted by a serious knee injury that limited his minutes. When healthy he offers craft and creativity from the number ten or left-sided role, and the coming seasons are important for him to prove he can rebuild fitness and form in LaLiga.
Was regarded as one of Russia's brightest young midfield talents before moving to Real Sociedad.
His time in San Sebastián has been significantly disrupted by injury problems.
