Everton were said to be tracking this dude, looks pretty good. Good Luck to him at Barca!



Zenit St Petersburg say they have received an approach from Barcelona for Russia playmaker Andrei Arshavin.

The 27-year-old said earlier this week that playing for Barca, the club he supported as boy, is his "dream".

Barcelona vice president Ferran Soriano said: "We are interested in Arshavin. But it won't be easy to sign him because all teams want him now."

A Zenit St Petersburg official said: "Barcelona have made a formal proposal to Zenit for the purchase of Arshavin."



The forward has starred in Russia's run to the semi-finals at Euro 2008 and has also been linked with a move to the Premier League after asking to leave the Uefa Cup champions.
Barca now appear to head the list of suitors, but the Zenit official added: "We will only talk about this once Andrei returns to Zenit."

He would have flopped in the Premiership I reckon. Good luck to him in La Liga

he hasnt actually signed for barcelona yet
he just supported them as a boy and would like to play there.
if a prem club comes in with a bigger bid than barcelona do i think he will end up here. hes already stated he wouldnt mind playing in the premier league

I just can't get over him being 27 when he looks about 17.

Also, I don't understand, why he has only suddenly become so good, whereas not so long back no one had ever heard of him?

I swear loads of big name players say the team they are poised to join is the club they supported as a boy (unless they've said it before).
