Zenit have confirmed Alexander Kerzhakov has signed a new one-year contract to extend his time at the Russian Premier League club.

Alexander Kerzhakov has agreed a one-year contract extension to remain at Russian Premier League side Zenit for another season.

The club's all-time record goalscorer, with 161 goals in 368 matches, began his career with Zenit before moving to Sevilla and having a short spell at Dynamo Moscow.

Kerzhakov has been back at Zenit since 2010, although he had a loan spell at Zurich last season, and has fallen down the club's pecking order in recent years.

A lack of game-time and loss of form meant the 33-year-old was left out of Russia's squad for Euro 2016 despite being the country's record goalscorer.
