Former Arsenal midfielder Hleb joins Krylya Sovetov

Former Barcelona and Arsenal midfielder Alexander Hleb signed a contract with Russian outfit Krylya Sovetov. He will join his new teammates in Samara tomorrow.

Earlier reports in the Russian newspaper Sovetsky sport suggested the Belarusian was choosing between Russian sides Kuban Krasnodar and Krylya Sovetov, but he eventually picked the latter.

The 30-year-old Belarus international recently terminated his contract with Barcelona on mutual terms and is now a free agent.
