Arsenal midfielder Andrei Arshavin has stated his wish
to finish his career at former side Zenit St
Petersburg.
Arshavin played for Zenit between 2000 and 2009, winning in that
time the Russian Premier League, Russian Cup and Uefa Cup.
The seemingly interminable pursuit of Arshavin by a host of
Europe’s leading clubs was finally concluded at the end of January
this year when Arsenal procured the services of the Russia
international.
While he will remain a Gunners player for the foreseeable
future, Arshavin expects to return to Zenit in time to finish his
playing career at his former club.
"I played for Zenit for a long time, and now I want to play
abroad and then return to St Petersburg to finish my career here,"
the 28-year-old told Radio Zenit.
