Gunners continue Arshavin chase

Arsenal look to be closing in on their pursuit of Russia international Andrei Arshavin – provided they can overcome the hurdle of the “unacceptable” fee demanded by Zenit St Petersburg, according to the player’s agent.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has made the 27-year-old his number one target, but the Barclays Premier League club will not be held to ransom.
