Zenit Reduce Asking Price for Arshavin

Zenit St Petersburg are reported to have lowered their asking price for Andrei Arshavin.

Tottenham therefore look as if they will be signing him, after Berbatov moves to Man. Utd.

Berbatov is rumoured to be in Manchester today for a medical and Tottenham manager Juande Ramos has said he is looking for extra attacking firepower.

Konstantin Sarsaniya, Zenit sporting director, said: "Zenit have decided to reduce the asking price for Andrei, but exactly how much I cannot say because the negotiations were led by Zenit President Alexander Dyukov."

He also added : "There are only small differences left."

The Russian team was said to be asking anything betweeen £19m and £30m depending on which newspaper you were reading and now the rumours if that Tottenham will sing Arshavin for around £18m.
