Andrei Arshavin - Arshavin Transfer Rumours
Rumours abound about Andrei Arshavin's future with Arsenal and English football. He hasn't been playing well consistently and has apparently been booed by some sections of the Arsenal fans. You get a feeling too that if he has made up his mind to go then he will be on his way. Although he'll have to get a move on if he is to beat the January transfer deadline.
The rumours are that he may be off to Italy, or back to St. Petersburg on a loan deal or according to the News of the World that Roman Abramovich is keen to sign him for Chelsea. Chelsea could do with a bit of refreshing in midfield and Arsenal seem to manage quite well now without Andrei Arshavin.
Arsene Wenger has admitted that Arshavin is currently experiencing problems: “He is going through a period that is a bit difficult at the moment, but he works very hard in training.” There are less than 18 months remaining on his contract too.

Igor Korneev at Zenit St. Petersburg has said “With Andrey, it is very simple. He graduated from our club and the doors are always open for him. We would always welcome him back to the club, whether that is now or in the future.”
Personally I would be sorry to see Arshavin leave Arsenal, in many ways he seems ideally suited to the club and he seemed a good transfer for Wenger, but the fact is that Arsenal was not Arshavin's first choice and maybe that has had an effect and also his form is a bit inconsistent to say the least.
Here are his thoughts on the Arsenal Wigan match, from his official website.
Arsenal 3-0 Wigan Athletic
AA: The day turned out well for us. We won.
Also today Julia and I went to see the play of the "Sovremennik" theater - "A Steep Route ". I am glad that today in London, I managed to get acquainted with such respectable people as Galina Volchek and Valentin Gaft. Once again I got added evidence that our dramatic art is the best in the world.
