Anzhi Makhachkala signs Chelsea attacking left back Yuri Zhirkov for a little over €13 million. The 27 year-old was capped 41 times in Russia's national 11.
Zhirkov left CSKA Moscow for Chelsea in 2009 for €18 million, and his newly agreed yearly salary of €5.5 million at Anzhi makes him the highest earning footballer in the Russian Premier League.
