Ivan Lepsky and Pavel Pivovarov
The young centre-back Ivan Lepsky signed a new contract with the club until the 2024/25 season.
The 17-year-old Kamchatka-born was invited to the Lev Yashin Dynamo Academy in 2016. His first position was a winger, but then Ivan was removed to the defensive line by the coach Vladimir Sautin. During the 2021/22 season, the centre-back Lepsky scored 13 goals in 26 YFL-2 matches, entering the top ten scorers of the league.
In this spring, Ivan began being involved in Dynamo-2 training sessions. He made his professional debut in May in an away fixture against Zvezda (0:0). In total, Lepsky has already played five games for Dynamo-2, in four of which he came out as a starter.
— I am delighted to extend my contract, — Lepsky said. — I want to thank Dynamo for their trust and my opportunity to stay at the club for 3 years more. I will do my best to progress and bring benefit to the team.
