Zenit: Arshavin transfer price to Arsenal agreed

Report that Zenit St. Petersburg has agreed with Arsenal on a transfer price for Russia midfielder Andrei Arshavin, but his move to the Premier League club is being delayed by the player's wage demands.

Zenit refused to disclose the price agreed for Arshavin, but club spokesman Alexei Petrov said Monday the price reflects the player's "real market value.''

Zenit had reportedly valued Arshavin at 20 million pounds ($28 million; ?21.4 million), but Arsenal is believed to have offered much less.

Arshavin, who attracted Arsenal's attention when he helped Russia reach the Euro 2008 semifinals, has repeatedly stated his desire to play abroad, and has publicly criticized Zenit for pricing him out of a possible move.

It will be great news for both between player and arsenal club especially wenger, they need this player very much and need to landing him as soon as posible to the emirates stadium,

Arsenal has difficult scoring during the game and need a new attacker to give some more effect to their team, adebayor and bendner who should take this job done but fail to do it very well.

In my oppinion arshavin will help them to get through, cos he has some experience and ability to score which has a good talent than others forward from guners.
