Spurs Need to Increase Arshavin Offer

Zenit Says Spurs Need to Increase their Offer for Arshavin

Zenit St Petersburg have said Spurs’ latest offer for Andrei Arshavin is not high enough.

The offer is variously being said to have been £17m or £19m and Zenit are said to be asking for £20m or £24m so a confusing situation. One thing is clear however Zenit are still saying 'nyet'.

Dennis Lachter, Arshavin's agent, is still confident that his player will be with Spurs soon. He has said we should know by Monday.

Talking to the BBC he said : “It is my prediction that Arshavin is going to be a Tottenham player this season.”

“He just rejected a huge, huge offer to renew his contract for another five years. He would like to leave for the Premier League.”
