# Super Nova sign Lizunovs and Barkovskis
SK Super Nova have strengthened their squad on the eve of the new Virsliga season by adding forward Valerijs Lizunovs (22) and central midfielder Ņikita Barkovskis (19).

Lizunovs, a Latvia Under-21 international, scored 5 goals and provided 4 assists in 31 league appearances last season whilst on loan at Daugavpils, also marking his European debut in the Conference League against Vllaznia in Albania as Daugavpils won 1-0 thanks to his header. Widely considered to have high potential, Lizunovs was signed by RFS in 2022 but never made it past the pre-season phase and would spend his time on loan interchangeably at Daugavpils and Tukums. He brings experience of 139 top-tier matches and 39 goals with him.

Barkovskis arrives on loan from Daugavpils. The 19-year-old, who was a regular for Latvia’s Under-19 side, has made 58 top-flight appearances, registering two assists, as well as collecting 17 yellow cards and one red.

Super Nova begin their league season already on Sunday at 16:00 in Mežaparks against Auda.
