Could Roman Bring Arshavin To Chelsea?

There’s always someone who catches the eye in the big tournaments and Euro 2008 has been no exception. After some pretty impressive displays for Russia, the man with an unfortunate name has got several Premier League clubs sitting up to take notice. 27 year old midfielder Andrei Arshavin, rumoured to be ready for a move from current club Zenit has put in the sort of performances that’ve made him one of the Euros brightest stars.

Arshavin’s introduction to the Russian team, following his brief suspension at the start, saw them transformed into a side posing a much greater attacking threat. His intelligence and ability to read the game, quick feet and skill on the ball have seen comparisons drawn with Bergkamp which aren’t far off the mark. And when Hiddink, who’s managed the likes of PSV, Valencia and Real Madrid, hails Arshavin as the ‘cleverest player’ he’s ever managed, that’s praise indeed.

Little wonder then that he’s attracted a host of admirers from England and even less surprising is that his greatest fan in the Premier League is said to be Abramovich. However, Roman could find that this is one player even his millions won’t sway. A superstar in his own country and earning what must equate to a substantial amount at Zenit already, Arshavin wouldn’t be in any great hurry to leave following their domestic and European success, and can afford to pick and choose. And according to recent reports, that’s exactly what he plans to do. Despite offers from both English and German clubs, the Russian playmaker appears to be holding out for offers from the Primera Liga. But despite reported interest from Barcelona, Arshavin confirmed there’s no offers yet.

Maybe they’re waiting for us to take Deco off their hands first?
