Moldova goalkeeper Kozhukhar heads to Kyrgyzstan on loan

Veres have officially announced that goalkeeper Andriy Kozhukhar is leaving the club. The 27-year-old Moldova international will spend the rest of the season on loan with Kyrgyzstani outfit Asia. The deal runs until the end of the season, and the club - coached by former Dynamo Kyiv striker Maksim Shatskikh - also holds an option to make the move permanent. Last season, Kozhukhar made six appearances for Veres, keeping one clean sheet while conceding nine goals. After 15 rounds in the Kyrgyzstan top flight, Asia sit fifth in the standings with 32 points.
