Zhirkov and Aleksandr Kokorin.
The Russian champions, who announced the deals late on
Saturday, expect both players to join up with the training camp
in Portugal in the coming days. The transfer fees have not been
disclosed.
Former Chelsea left-winger Zhirkov had previously agreed on a
switch to Zenit at the end of the season, but Dinamo accepted
a fee in order to bring the transfer forward.
Kokorin's strong form for the capital club since moving from
Anzhi Makhachkala had seen him linked with Arsenal prior to
Zenit's interest, with Dinamo ultimately forced to sell as a result
of increasing financial difficulties in recent months.
Andre Villas-Boas' side entered the mid-season break in sixth in
the Premier League table and will face Benfica in the Champions
League last 16.
