form should Russia have any hope of reaching the last-16

Golovin has made over 15 appearances for his national team, having been handed his debut after turning 19 years old. Now 21, he has been an influential midfielder for CSKA Moscow the past two seasons. He is the only player from his country's Under-17 Championship winning side of 2013, to make the breakthrough to the first-team. Former Manchester United star Andrei Kanchelskis, believes he would be a hit at Arsenal and they should swoop for the player who has one Russian Premier League title to his name.
