Denis Cheryshev to Valencia: Latest Loan Details, Comments and Reaction

Real Madrid winger Denis Cheryshev has joined Valencia on loan until the end of the season.

Los Che confirmed the signing on Monday, with the club revealing that Cheryshev will undergo a medical on Tuesday and be presented to the media. 

The Russia international has been at Real since 2002 and broke into the senior setup in 2012, but he has never been able to nail down a first-team spot at the Bernabeu.

This season he has played only 33 minutes in La Liga, per WhoScored.com. He made headlines back in December after being fielded in a Copa del Rey clash against Cadiz, despite being ineligible, in a move that eventually got Real expelled from the competition, per ESPN FC's Dermot Corrigan.

However, Cheryshev looks set to be able to play in the Copa for Valencia, perhaps even on Wednesday when they face Barcelona in the first leg of their semi-final tie, per Sport. 

Cheryshev is a talented player and proved when on loan at Villarreal last season that he can excel in La Liga—he netted four times and provided nine assists with the Yellow Submarine, per WhoScored.

Spanish football writer Richard Martin believes the 25-year-old could be an asset in Gary Neville's side:

While the former Manchester United man has overseen a decent run in the Copa since he took over at the Mestalla in December, he has still yet to record a league win.

Valencia are 12th in La Liga, and Neville will undoubtedly be hoping that Cheryshev can play a role in a quick turnaround in fortunes.
