Ik geloof dat Arshavin al te graag weg wil uit Rusland om in de echte Europese top te gaan spelen.
Die zal het niet laten stuk lopen op salaris, die heeft toch al een mooi pensioen opgebouwd.

1209: Andrei Arshavin and Robbie Keane. Perhaps the two top names being hotly tipped with deadline day moves.
Arshavin's move to Arsenal is looking increasingly unlikely, even if the Russian is in England at the moment.

quote:

12.05 We are receiving reports the deal for Andrei Arshavin is still in the balance. Arsenal and Zenit St Petersburg are trying to thrash out terms while there are conflicting stories regarding the Russian's whereabouts. Some sources are indicating he is actually undergoing a medical at the Gunners' London Colney headquarters.

Premier League extends deadline

The Premier League has agreed to extend the transfer deadline for clubs who cannot complete deals because of the weather conditions.

The League said it would need e-mail confirmation from both teams to prove a deal had been agreed in principle.

It also need to be satisfied that it was the weather that had prevented the transfer being completed.

The Scottish Football Association and Football League say they have no plans to extend the transfer window.

A Football League spokesman said: "We have not had any clubs indicate any problems, so at the moment there are no plans to extend the deadline."

Fee is al bevestigd volgends BBC en Skysports. Het gaat nu alleen nog maar om een bedrag wat Arshavin terug moet betalen aan Zenit.

1558: This just in from BBC Radio 5 Live's Mike Sewell: "Arsenal and Zenit have agreed a fee and I understand personal terms have also been agreed and Andrei Arshavin is having a medical this afternoon. But there is a but, as Zenit want half of his signing-on fee for signing for Arsenal. That is now the sticking point." Hmm. They've got (weather permitting) 62 minutes to sort it out.

1604: "Thanks Arsenal for the snow. Arshavin said the UK was to warm and he would miss the snow. Looks like Arsenal have taken massive measures to make him sign!"

quote:

1615: Andrei Arshavin has passed his medical at Arsenal, so he is very, very close now to completing his move from Zenit. I cannot wait to see that little genius from Euro 2008 in the Premier League.

quote:

1625: Are Zenit the hardest club in the world to do business with? Seems like it. Months after Andrei Arshavin's move to Spurs was scuppered, he could be about to get tantalisingly close to a north London switch once again without success. Are the Russians still holding out for half of the signing-on fee?

Arsenal agree a fee for Arshavin

Arsenal look set to sign playmaker Andrei Arshavin after agreeing a fee with Zenit St Petersburg.

Personal terms have also been agreed and the 27-year-old is having a medical, BBC Sport understands.

BBC Radio 5 Live's Mike Sewell said: "Zenit want half of his signing on fee. That is now the sticking point."

It earlier looked as though any potential deal for the Russia international was dead as the clubs failed to reach an agreement on a fee.

The player travelled to London on Monday in order to complete the formalities of the move before the transfer deadline, once the clubs had agreed a fee.

However, after being pictured in Hertfordshire, key figures in the deal said that Arshavin had left for an airport and the move was off, amidst suggestions that the two clubs differed in their valuation of the player.

This has now been resolved and the Gunners look set to finalise the deal that would see one of Europe's most sought-after player's move to the Emirates.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has remained confident throughout that he would land his man.

"We are always confident, we try our best, if we can find an agreement, we will do it," he said earlier.

"These kind of stories sometimes develop in the last minute on the final day of the transfer window. It is very difficult to predict."

However, he also suggested that the signing of Arshavin, who became a talisman and central figure for Zenit and his country, at Euro 2008, would not alter his faith in the young team at his disposal.

"There is always a danger that people always want a wonder man, but I do not believe in that.

"I believe we have to keep going, and accept that the expectation level on him would be very high."

It is rumoured that Arshavin will take the number 13 shirt previously held by Alexander Hleb, who was sold to Barcelona last summer.

Ik hoop wel dat Wenger hem samen met Van Persie in het veld zet en niet om de beurt.
