A January loan move has been mooted for the Russia international, but Kanchelskis says Zakharyan shouldn't consider a return home as an option.
He told Sport-Express: "Loan of Zakharyan in the RPL? Leaving the RPL is difficult, but you can always return in time.
"Zakharyan — a young guy who still has his whole career ahead, so there’s no point in talking about returning to the RPL.
"He does not need to return on-loan in the RPL. If you go on-loan, then go somewhere in Spain or Germany."
