The former Dynamo Kyiv forward is among the leaders of the Polish championship scorers' race. He is called the season opener

Former Dynamo Kyiv striker Ilya Shkurin, who played for the Ukrainian team in 2021 but failed to prove himself, is having a productive season in the Polish championship.

Илья Шкурин

Now the 24-year-old forward defends the colours of "Stali" from the city of Melec and in the season-2023/24 has already scored 12 goals in all tournaments. The Belarusian also has 5 assists. Shkurin scored another winning goal in yesterday's match with "Shlensk" (1:0).

Such individual indicators allowed Shkurin to become one of the leaders of the Polish league scorers' race. In this tournament, the ex-Dynamo player has 10 goals, and only Erik Exposito from Szlensk has more (14).

Polish media and journalists almost unanimously call Shkurin the discovery of the current season. Here are just some of the compliments to the Belarusian footballer:

"Shkurin is a real striker. In a better team he would give even more";

"It's amazing what talent Stali have in selecting strikers";

"Shkurin is absolutely phenomenal this season".

We would like to add that, as in the case of Dynamo, Shkurin is on loan from CSKA Moscow.
