Zenit St. Petersburg striker and current star of Euro 2008 so far, Andrei Arshavin is the man of the moment. Reports suggest that he is ready to test his trade outside of his native Russia, and has received offers from England and Germany.
However, Arshavin has stated that he is interested in moving to Spain as he is a fan of the league and likes the way football is played ดาวเด่นลาลีกา Dick Advocaat also stated in a recent interview that Arshavin is likely to join Barcelona.
Arshavin's desire to play in Spain has now turned the current saga of Adebayor transfers as the Blaugrana may be tempted to make a move for the 27-year-old. Apparently Arsenal have been eager to sign Arshavin and have been planning to use the funds from a potential Adebayor transfer, to buy the talented forward while still having cash, having priced Adebayor at around € 32m. , while Arshavin will cost in the region of 15 million euros. However, Barça is only willing to pay € 27 million for the Togolese forward and could therefore make a move for Arshavin.
My opinion on this is that Barça should make a move for the man of the moment, Arshavin. He is a player that I think many Barça players would love to see at the Camp Nou, even more than Emmanuel Adebayor. Arshavin has also expressed his desire to move to Spain, while Adebayor's heart seems determined to play in Italy for AC Milan. Barcelona need to bring players to the club who have a strong desire to play for the club and I think Arshavin is one of them.
Russian football is clearly on the rise, it was demonstrated by Zenit St. Petersburg's UEFA Cup win over Rangers and now Russia's run at Euro 2008. Arshavin believes that there are many good players in this country who are now being discovered, and one thing's for sure, he's definitely one of them.
