Andrei Arshavin - Zenith St.Petersburg

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.
