Wenger claims Arshavin getting back to his best

ANDREY ARSHAVIN is getting back to his best after suffering a dip in form and is committed to Arsenal, manager Arsene Wenger has claimed.

Wenger yesterday fended off questions about the Russian playmaker’s future following a difficult spell for the 29-year-old. Arshavin started the season with five goals in nine games but he has scored just twice since September and was omitted for the recent Premier League clashes with Chelsea and Manchester City.

However the Russian did start at Leeds in the FA Cup on Wednesday and Wenger saw enough at Elland Road to suggest that Arshavin is on the up.
