[Kerala Blasters](https://technosports.co.in/kerala-blasters-coach-ivan-vukomanovic-fined/) have confirmed a massive signing in the January transfer window, announcing Lithuanian captain Fedor Černych. The team added that the move is subject to the clearance of a medical test which will take place in the coming days. The arrival of Černych will be a massive boost to the club for the second half of the season, especially since they are mounting a title challenge.

Kerala Blasters sporting director Karolis Skinkys was key in ensuring that Černych made the move to India. After seeing his game time significantly reduced at [AEL Limassol](https://www.transfermarkt.co.in/fedor-cernych/leistungsdaten/spieler/140540), the player wanted to make the move to a team where he would play regularly. And as a result, he has arrived at a team where he will be one of the most valuable players. 

Cernych has represented Lithuania’s national football team 82 times, bagging 12 goals in the process. He has scored a goal and managed an assist in his five appearances in the UEFA Nations League. In the UEFA European Qualifiers, he has bagged himself two goals and two assists.

The 32-year-old had played for Russia’s top club Dynamo Moscow for two consecutive seasons between 2018 and 2020, scoring three goals in 33 appearances.
