Russia ace Andrei Arshavin says
he has offers from England and Germany, but his preference is to
play in Spain.
Arshavin has emerged as the star of Euro 2008 following his
stunning performance in Russia's quarter-final win over
Holland.
He had missed the opening two matches of the tournament through
suspension and also produced an influential display in the final
group game against Sweden.
The playmaker impressed for Zenit St Petersburg last season and
is tipped to leave the Uefa Cup winners at the end of the European
Championship.
Zenit coach Dick Advocaat conceded last week that the
27-year-old wants to move on and a clutch of clubs have been linked
with a £10million-plus bid.
Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, Manchester City and Newcastle United
have all been mooted as admirers of Arshavin, while Barcelona are
rumoured to see him as an ideal replacement for Deco.
Arshavin admits it may be time to leave Russian
football and claims his dream would be to join a Spanish
club.
"Perhaps the time has come, yes," Arshavin told AS when
asked whether he would move to another European league.
"I know that I have offers from England and Germany, but what I
really want is to play in the Primera Liga.
"It's the championship that I have always followed, I like how
football is played there.
"But for now, I have no offers from Spain."
The schemer's international team-mate Roman Pavlyuchenko has
been linked with a move to Real Madrid and Arshavin feels there are
many more Russia players who will have caught the eye at Euro
2008.
He added: "There are many good players in my country, but people
are now discovering us.
"It's not only me. This tournament is an opportunity for
us."
