Player Club History

Andrei Kanchelskis started his professional career in Dynamo Kiev but he became famous after his move to Shakhtyor Donetsk. That's where he was noticed by Manchester United Manager Alex Furginson and was transferred to Manchester United. Playing for Manchester United he became a world famous and respected winger and was considered as one of the best players in the world. After playing five seasons with Manchester United he was transferred to Everton. Although he was a winger for Everton, he was a club's top scorer for '95-'96th Season. In the beginning of '96-'97 Season Fiorentina offered Everton a huge fee which they couldn't resist and were forced to sell Kanchelskis to Fiorentina, where he became club's record signing.
