Shortly before the departure he told the White-Blues official web site about the important event and his plans for the nearest future:
- Artem, you’ve signed a new contract with Dynamo. Till what date was your previous agreement valid?
- I’ve really signed a new contract, but not prolonged the previous one. That agreement was valid till July 1 2014
- Late in the season you had a talk with Dynamo president Ihor Surkis. What was it about?
- We had an appointment after the last match against FC Zoria Luhansk. We’ve decided that I’ll go to the training camp with the team. If I figure in head coach’s plans I’ll stay. Otherwise I’ll perform somewhere on loan for a year.
- What is the term of your new contract?
- It will be valid till July 1 2015.
- Do you consider offers from other clubs? What does it mean to you to stay in Dynamo?
- I consider different offers, but my body and soul belong to one team and I feel that I can do a lot for it. Maybe it seems that I just sit on the bench and earn money, but that’s not true. I really want to prove everyone that I’m a good player. I didn’t get a single chance to do that within half a year.
- What are your expectations of the new season? What do you want to achieve with the team?
- I’ll work a lot to benefit the team! I want to win the domestic title with Dynamo!
- Serhiy Rebrov has become Dynamo new head coach. What relations do you have with him? Have you discussed your future in Dynamo?
- I think we have normal relations. There’s no need for such talk. Everything must be proved on the pitch.
- Rebrov will form the team according to his vision and thus you’ll have a chance to struggle for regular starting spot at the training camp…
- Rebrov has been working with the team for a long time and he knows what we can. If he didn’t need me I would have already left Dynamo. Training camp is a chance for everyone.
