"It was extremely important to feel that the president of the club, Rinat Akhmetov, employees and players want me to stay to continue the work that we started two seasons ago. Again, very happy that I extended the contract with the Donetsk club. I also want to thank my agent Mark Abreu, who played an important role in the negotiations ".

"Now you need to work hard to continue to win both on the domestic and international arena. Shakhtar will continue to demonstrate a beautiful, attacking football. I believe the fans will be proud of their club. I want to thank our fans for their excellent support.. The "miners" are just fantastic fans who are very fond of the team.

For me, this served as an additional motive for staying here ".
