The Zenit St Petersburg forward impressed in World Cup, leading to reports in the Russian media Cardiff City are interested in signing the player
Arustamyan also confirmed the Premier League side are interested in the 29 year old, but he said they are only currently looking to loan the attacker.
Arustamyan said as covered by Championat: “Yes, Cardiff are considering Dzyuba but they are only willing to make a loan offer. Of course they want to insert a redemption clause. We have to wait and see how this will evolve. Dzyuba hasn’t decided on anything yet, but I can confirm that he has lots of offers.”
After spending the second half of last season on loan at Russian side Arsenal Tula, Dzyuba announced himself to the wider world football with his performances for Russia.
The 29-year old scored three goals in the World Cup, helping his country to the quarter finals of the competition.
Cardiff City will be looking to strengthen their squad in the last four weeks of this transfer window following their promotion back to the top flight.
Dzyuba is under contract at Zenit until 2020.
