Some Armenian footballers have been transferred to foreign clubs on
the eve of a new football season

1. Levon Pachajian (GAIS, Sweden)

The Armenian best footballer of 2007 has trained in some foreign
clubs. In 2006 he spent a few months in Israel. This time the former
footballer of "Pyunik" has concluded a long-term contract with
Swedish GAIS.

The famous halfback doesn’t even conceal that the new club will serve a
"ski jump" to a more popular club.

Anyway, GAIS is a prominent club and has recently made great progress
in Sweden. Presently, Pachajian is one of the key footballers of GAIS.

2. Samvel Melkonian ("Metalurg," D. Ukraine)

Prior to signing a contract with "Metalurg," Melkonian had trained
in German "Frayburg." Though he couldn’t demonstrate his abilities
to the full in "Frayburg," he stood out in "Metalurg" and the coaches
decided to make a contract with him.

The recent formal matches proved that the Ukrainian club has made a
right choice as Samvel already ranks among the team’s best footballers.

3. Tigran Gharabaghtsian ("Cherno More," Bulgaria)

Gharabaghtsian is one of the tallest and prospective footballers of
Armenia. He stands a good chance to demonstrate his abilities in the
Bulgarian team.

4. Ararat Arakelian ( "Metalurg," D. Ukraine)

Although a few German clubs were interested in Arakelian, the latter
preferred Ukrainian "Metalurg."

5. Robert Arzumanian ("Randers," Denmark)

Robert Arzumanian has been a key footballer of the Armenian
team since 2005. In 2007 he stood out as the best striker of the
team. Unfortunately, Arzumanian hasn’t had a chance to display his
abilities in the new club as he hasn’t participated in any official
match.
