Andrei Arshavin - Arshavin Set to Sign for Arsenal
According to the Daily Mail it is Arsenal that are close to signing Andrei Arshavin this January.
Arsenal certainly need to do something to get back in the title race and Arsene Wenger is known as being fairly shrewd in the transfer market, although some of his recent signings have not been the greatest of successes. Arshavin at 27 would be a bit unusual for Wenger, as he generally likes younger players. Arshavin would of course add his European experience to the Arsenal squad and bolster Arsenal's chances in Europe. And there is also the added attraction of another name beginning with Ars to add to Arsenal and Arsene.

Arshavin said himself last week that he had been in London on business, see Arshavin in London but most people, including us, thought he had been to see Chelsea.
It now turns out that Arshavin was seen at Arsenal's Colney training ground in London on Wednesday, but according to the Daily Telegraph he was also seen at Spurs’ Chigwell training ground on Tuesday. He has however also said that he is keen to play in the Champions League, so in a straight fight between Arsenal and Spurs it is pretty clear that Arsenal would win.
The Daily Mail is confident Arshavin will join Arsenal early next month. They say that Wenger has got the go-ahead to sign Arshavin because of the £37m profit the club made last year.
