Andrei Arshavin - Russian Footballer Set for a Transfer to England
Andrei Arshavin (Андрей Сергеевич Аршавин in Russian) is the 27 year old Russian midfielder/winger/attacker who has been described by the Russian national coach Guus Hiddink as “the most intelligent player I have ever worked with”.
He was born on May 29 1981 in the city formerly known as Leningrad, but now known as St. Petersburg. He was voted Russian footballer of the year in 2006.
He plays for Zenit St Petersburg at the moment but a number of English clubs have shown an interest in signing him. He has been linked with Manchester City and Everton but now it seems that the most likely to sign him are Kevin Keegan’s Newcastle.
He has just played an important role in helping Russia to qualify for the quarter finals of Euro 2008.
