“I want to say ‘thank you’ for these wonderful seven years that I’ve spent here with you,” he told fans of the Russian club after he assisted two goals in their final League game on Sunday.

“Thank you for the way you accepted me. Today’s a sad day – my adventure in Russia and St. Petersburg is coming to an end.

“These were unforgettable years because I spent them with you, and today I feel like I’m leaving my home. This stadium’s become my home, and I’ll miss you all.”
