Arsenal Transfer News: Gunners To Sell Five on Transfer Deadline Day

4. Andrei Arshavin

With his family settled in England, it€™s highly likely that the 31-year-old Russian National may look to remain at a Premier League club. However, after not appearing on the Arsenal squad during their Asian tour, it looks likely that it won€™t be as a fixture of the Emirates Stadium side. His three-and-a-half year tenure at Arsenal began with an excellent performance at Euro 2008, after which Arshavin unfortunately went on a bit of a downward turn, and his career under Arsene Wenger has probably seen more lows than it has highs. That said, a number of Premier League clubs are apparently keen to sign the 31-year-old; Fulham are thought to be in an excellent position to bag the winger, although he€™s also being eyed by his former employers Zenit St. Petersburg. Although Arsene Wenger previously broke club records by spending £15m on the Russian, he€™s reportedly ready to accept a bid of half that to encourage a rapid sale before the transfer window closes until January. Although Fulham are interested in securing a deal here, Zenit St. Petersburg are reportedly lining up a £10m bid and may well be the most likely candidates to bag Arshavin today.
