Spartak's midfielder, Jeddson, discussed his initial goal for the team
In the bustling world of Russian football, the summer transfer window of 2025 saw a significant move as Jedson Fernandes joined FC Spartak Moscow from Beşiktaş. The club paid a reported fee of €20 million plus €5 million in add-ons to secure the midfielder's services [1][3].
Jedson's arrival in Moscow was confirmed in early August, and he has since settled into his new home at Spartak. As a midfielder, Jedson brings a wealth of experience to the team, although his exact field position with Spartak remains to be seen [4].
With the season just beginning or yet to start, Jedson's debut season with Spartak Moscow is still in its infancy, making it difficult to assess his impact on the team so far. However, he has already made a memorable mark, scoring his first goal for the club in a RPL match against Zenit St. Petersburg.
The goal, scored on the 38th minute, came after a cross from Martins, and it was a significant moment for Jedson, as he dedicated it to his family [5]. The goal was also a timely one, aimed at ending Spartak's winless streak.
Looking ahead, Spartak is set to travel to Kazan to face Rubin on August 23 [6]. This encounter will be followed by another highly anticipated match against Zenit in the same city on the same date. The draw between the two teams in their previous encounter (2:2) left both sides hungry for victory [7].
Coach Sergei Semak of Zenit has expressed concerns about personnel problems affecting the team's defense, which could provide an opportunity for Spartak to capitalise [8]. Jedson, for his part, is ready to play any role that benefits the team, emphasising that individual achievements are less important to him than team success [9].
As for Jedson's fellow newcomer, Rubens, he has been discussing the details of his transfer to Dinamo [10]. Hulk, a former teammate of Rubens, has provided crucial advice to help him settle into his new club [11].
Meanwhile, CSKA has commented on the delay in Faizullayev's transfer to Turkey [12]. Despite these off-field matters, the focus remains on the upcoming matches, with both Spartak and Zenit eager to secure a much-needed victory.

In the realm of European football leagues, bookmakers have started taking bets on Jedson Fernandes' impact with his new club, FC Spartak Moscow, following his transfer from Beşiktaş. With his impressive debut goal in the Russian Premier League against Zenit St. Petersburg, questions are already being raised about whether he will help Spartak challenge for top spots this season, particularly during their upcoming match against Zenit in Kazan.
