Arsenal winger wants Emirates stay despite Russian interest
Published on February 2, 2012 by Matthew Wood · No Comments
Arsenal winger Andrey Arshavin wants to stay at the Emirates despite speculation linking him with a move to Russian big spenders Anzhi Makhachkala, according to his agent.
Arshavin, 30, is out of contract at Arsenal at the end of the current campaign and has come under some criticism from Gunners fans for his performances this season.
The Russian international was left on the bench for Arsenal’s game with Bolton Wanderers on Wednesday night as boss Arsene Wenger slowly seems to be integrating youngster Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain ahead of the experienced attacker.
Quoted on the Metro, Paul Smith, Arshavin’s agent, said: “The Russia window lasts until February 24th and a guy representing Anzhi has made a tentative approach.
“But Andrey is not going to talk to the Russians because he doesn’t want to leave and Arsenal don’t want him to go, either.”
Arshavin signed for Arsenal in the January of 2009 but seems certain to leave to club when his contract expires in the summer.
