German Bundesliga side Stuttgart have reportedly switched interest from CSKA Moscow’s Brazilian striker Vagner Love to Zenith’s Pavel Pogrebnyak, as they reckon the Russian international would cost them far less: Pogrebnyak is under contract with the St.Petersburg club until next year, after which he will be a free agent.
If the deal succeeds, Stuttgart will be buying a player whose FTBL rating is not among the highest at the moment even in the Russian Premier League: Pogrebnyak has an overall rating of 79.77 points.
The Russian will rank higher than only young German forward Manuel Fischer (15.3 points) at Stuttgart. But Fischer has played just 4 rated matches so far. The remaining strikers at the German club rank higher: Romanian Ciprian Marica has 85.27 points, Senegalese Demba Ba has 109.05 points, while Brazilian Cacau has 109.73 points.
