Stepinski heading to Spartak Moscow?

Now that Mariusz Stepinski's day at Widzew Lodz are over, the 18-year-old striker is a mission of finding a new club for himself.

After a deeper research, it looks like the Polish U-18 striker will be heading to Russia -- exactly, Spartak Moscow.

The information was gathered from Stepinski's Facebook page where on Wednesday he wrote, "Can anyone say something in Russian?"

That was followed up with a post yesterday where Stepinski wrote,"It looks like it's time to learn Russian". But that's not all. His Polish U-18 teammate, Arkadiusz Milik, commented on the status a couple hours later saying, "Why? You're leaving for Russia?" Then, Milik commented once more saying, "Mario, so it's true what you told me earlier? Good luck at Spartak Moscow!"

Well, that sums it up all up. It looks like Stepinski is heading to Spartak Moscow on a free transfer after declining to renew his contract with Widzew after training 18 on May 12.
