Andrei Arshavin's agent claims the
Russian playmaker is 'desperate' to join Arsenal.
The Zenit St Petersburg ace is expected to leave his current
club before the close of the transfer window.
He has been heavily linked with a move to Barcelona after
admitting the Spanish giants are his 'dream' club.
But Barca's bid for the schemer fell well short of Zenit's
valuation, while Arshavin's representative Dennis Lachter has
claimed an unnamed English club have offered £19million.
Lachter says Zenit want £24million for the
27-year-old, who has been linked with Premier League rivals Arsenal
and Chelsea.
The player's agent, though, has suggested that Arshavin would
welcome the opportunity to move to Emirates Stadium.
"Andrei is desperate to join Arsenal," said Lachter in the
Daily Mirror.
"His style of play would suit them perfectly."
Arsenal have completed the signing of French playmaker Samir
Nasri from Marseille, but are set to lose Alexander Hleb to
Barcelona.
