Kyle 'enjoys' Spartak trial
Kilmarnock striker Kyle, who is out of contract in the summer, flew out to Turkey for Spartak's pre-season training camp to play in a game against Zhemchuzhina Sochi.[LNB]The 28-year-old did not score but had a hand in one of the goals in a 3-0 win.[LNB]"I've not decided on anything; I've just come out to speak to them," Kyle told BBC Scotland.[LNB]"I enjoyed the experience."[LNB]Spartak's assistant coach Kazbek Nakhushev this week revealed his side are interested in signing Kyle.[LNB]The Scotland international was reported earlier this week to have snubbed a move to a city which the Foreign Office warns is at risk of terrorist attack, with Westerners particularly vulnerable to kidnap threats.[LNB]But it appears Kyle has now changed his mind and he jetted out to Spartak's training camp yesterday.[LNB]Nakhushev is quoted as saying: "We will have an impression of Kyle right after the game and will say then where we stand.[LNB]"We are aiming to recruit several new players. We recently had a look at a Slovenian player - but I can tell you, he didn't impress.[LNB]"So Kyle has a good chance of being offered a deal."[LNB]Kyle will reportedly return to Killie tomorrow night and play in Saturday's Clydesdale Bank Premier League game at Hibernian.[LNB]But he will be able to join Spartak at any time before the Russian Premier Liga season starts the following weekend as they do not operate under the standard transfer window.[LNB]Nalchik is 2,000km south of Moscow, close to war-torn Chechnya.[LNB]The Foreign Office says in its advice on travelling to the area: "As well as an ongoing risk of insurgent attacks, terrorist attacks have occurred throughout the region, including incidents in Nalchik.[LNB]"Further violence in the region is likely and there is a long history of kidnapping in the region, while Westerners are particularly vulnerable."[LNB][LNB][LNB]
