The 25-year-old forward arrived at Sevilla a year ago and managed to establish himself under Juande Ramos.

However, when Manolo Jimenez replaced Ramos at the reigns of the team, the Russian striker lost his place in the line-up.

Sevilla was set to continue his career in the European championship, but lack of first-team practice forced him to search for another club.

With wealthy of interest from the Russian clubs Sevilla waited for the favorable offer, and Dynamo's variant seemed to be the case.

The Spanish team paid ?4m for the Russian hitman, so Dynamo's ?8m offer is surely to tempt Sevilla owners.

The deal will be formally announced in the coming days, while Kerzhakov is set to come to Moscow today.

The player will undergo his medical and will join his new team on pre-season preparations in Holland.

Sevilla head coach Manolo Jimenez commented on Kerzhakov's move back to the Russian Premier Liga to Sport Express.

"Kerzhakov is a player of a very high class", said Jimenez.

"However, he used to think about offers from the other clubs. He was unhappy in our team and we needed to find a solution in this situation."
