Osmar Ferreyra joins Dnipro

Former PFC CSKA Moskva midfielder Osmar Ferreyra has joined Ukrainian Premier League leaders FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk, signing a four-year contract.

First Argentinian
The 25-year-old becomes Dnipro's first Argentinian player, arriving from CA San Lorenzo in his homeland. Ferreyra started his career at CA River Plate in 2002, moving to Russia in 2004 and scoring twice in 15 league games for CSKA. After a short loan spell at PSV Eindhoven, he returned to Argentina with San Lorenzo, winning the Clausura championship in 2007.

Holek signing
Dnipro, who went into the winter break two points clear at the top of the Ukrainian table, are also expected to complete the signing of Czech Republic Under-21 midfielder Mario Holek before the end of the week. The 21-year-old will sign a four-year contract at the club, bringing with him the experience of 67 league appearances for hometown club 1. FC Brno. As Holek and Ferreyra arrive, however, Ruslan Bidnenko is poised to leave for FC Naftovyk-Ukrnafta Okhtyrka on loan until the end of the season.
