New boy Arshavin preparing to take aim at Gunners’ targets

ANDREI ARSHAVIN knows just what is expected of any Arsenal player – to help deliver the Premier League title and European glory.

With all documentation on the Russian international’s transfer now fully ratified by the Premier League and Football Association – albeit with some paperwork understood to have arrived when business was supposed to have been formally completed – Arshavin has returned home to await the formality of a work permit before returning to London.

While Gunners fans are likely to have to be patient for the debut of the playmaker, the Russian domestic season having finished in November, Arshavin is in no doubt of the expectations which await him.
