The Premier League transfer retifer and Andrei Arshavin became an official new player in the Arsenal, where he played with the dorsal 23. "I like the style of this team and I like Arsene Wenger as a coach," said the Russian midfielder, 27, who comes to London in exchange for 16 million euros, while his new club has refused to make official figures .
The 'Gunners' did not know the length of his contract and simply formalize that agreement was a "long term". The player, which comes from Zenit St Petersburg could debut on Sunday in the London derby with Tottenham.
However, the Russian league finished in November and the last official match Arshavin took place on December 10 before the Real Madrid in the Bernabeu. "I could play on Friday or Saturday, but it's true that I am not in shape. Arsene will decide whether or not playing," said the Russian player.
Wenger spared no praise for defining a new ward, which will attempt to fill the void left by the injured Cesc Fabregas, Tomas Rosicky and Theo Walcott. "It's a versatile player with experience, so it will take a leap in quality with it."
Arshavin's presence should be strengthened to Arsenal, who took a disappointing fifth place in the Premiership, five points ahead of Aston Villa, fourth. In the Champions League, Londoners are measured in eighths of the final with Roma.(Source: Elmundo)
