It is hoped that the young (26 year old) Arshavin will help offset the growing injury list with the Arsenals. So far Cesc Fabregas, Tomas Rosicky and Theo Walcott are on the long term injury recovering list.

He’s played 232 games for Zenit, scored 51 goals and in 2006 he was the Russian Footballer of the Year.

]]> Young Russian soccer star Andrei Arshavin is urging his club (Zenit St. Petersburg) to let him go play with Arsenal.

Arshavin has already tried to negotiate moves to Barcelona, Real Madrid and Tottenham unsuccessfully over the summer. The club has been negotiating a sell of about $25 million but for Arshavin, he believes they are asking too much for him. Willing to settle for at least $16.6 million, Arshavin is prepared to take any price.

Makes you wonder if they are mistreating Arshavin or something. I mean why is he so eager to leave his home-country
