PSG misfit Krychowiak joins Lokomotiv Moscow on loan

25 July 2018: Poland midfielder Grzegorz Krychowiak has joined Lokomotiv Moscow on loan from French champions Paris Saint-Germain, the Russian club said on Tuesday.

The 28-year-old struggled to break into the PSG side following his arrival from Sevilla in 2016, which came just after Unai Emery took over as coach of the Ligue 1 club.

Krychowiak spent the past season on loan at West Brom in the Premier League and started 20 times as the club was relegated from the top flight.

He is the fifth player to leave Paris this summer after the departures of Javier Pastore (Roma), Odsonne Edouard (Celtic), Yuri Berchiche (Athletic Bilbao) and Jonathan Ikone (Lille).

Defending Russian champions Lokomotiv face city rivals CSKA in the Super Cup on Friday. They kick off the defence of their league title away to Ufa on July 30.
