Arsenal Sign Arshavin

Andrei Arshavin - Arshavin - 1-0 to the Arsenal

Andrei Arshavin has just signed for Arsenal, which is an excellent piece of business for the Gunners. The price was maybe £15 million maybe £12.5 million depending on who youlisten to.

Arshavin is a world-class player who should help Arsenal win the Premier League ! Well they can still dream I guess, but he might help them win the FA Cup.

The Arshavin saga has gone on so logn that a lot of people fell asleep. Let's hope he is beter at playing football than he is at signing contracts.

Arshavin Arsenal Deal Imminent?

Arshavin to Arsenal for £10 Million?

The latest news, according to a Daily Mirror exclusive is that Andrei Arshavin is about to agree a deal to sign for Arsenal for £10 million.

Sky Sports are still mentioning a value of £20 million but the Daily Mirror seems to think Arsenal will get Arshavin for £10 million, that would be an amazing deal if it went through.

One of the reasons it may go through is that Arshavin will be entitled to buy himself out of his contract for £5 million at the end of the season. Something which presumably Zenit is keen to avoid.

The Daily Mirror certainly sound confident that they have got it right.
