Zenit St Petersburg striker
Pavel Pogrebnyak has admitted he would welcome the opportunity to
work with Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.
Reports have suggested Wenger could target Pogrebnyak at the end
of the season in a bid to improve his attacking options, although
the French coach recently stated he "has plenty of strikers"
already.
The 25-year-old Russia international, who was linked with
Blackburn Rovers in the winter transfer window, is flattered by the
rumours, with his current contract due to expire in November.
"It is the first time I have heard of Arsenal as an option,"
Pogrebnyak told Sport Express.
"But of course I am pleased that the club is interested in
me.
"I think for any player to have the opportunity to work with
Arsene Wenger would be a big step forward."
