Robert PrimusFC Aktobe head coach Vladamir Mukhanov says he expects to see the benefits of new signing Robert Primus as the new Kazakhstani Premier League kicks into gear in the coming weeks.

  Primus made his debut for the club earlier this month and Mukhanov spoke this week about the reason for signing the former San Juan Jabloteh player alongside Juan Jose Bezares, a midfielder from Spanish side Sevilla.

“We signed them because of their qualities as players and people, not because they are exotic,” Mukhanov told UEFA.com. “We are interested in good players, but they need to fit into our group, they have to be good people too.

We play attacking football but we have worked on our defensive shortcomings too. Let’s see how we get on,” Mukhanov added. The 20-year-old Primus is hoping to cement a starting spot in the team.

“So far I’m settling in well. The climate is different but I’m enjoying it. It’s a lot of hard work but this is all part of it.

We’ve been working hard to ensure we have the best possible start to the season,” Primus added. Primus’ Aktobe top the Kazakhstan Premier League after two matches with six points.

He also saw action in their 3-2 win over Irtysh on Saturday. Primus made his debut for T&T during the latter stages of the 2010 World Cup qualifiers and appeared at the 2007 Fifa Under 17 World Cup and 2009 Fifa Under 20 World Cup in Egypt.
