Zenit rejects Arsenal bid for Arshavin

Zenit St Petersburg have confirmed that they have turned down an £10million bid for Andrei Arshavin from Premier League giants Arsenal.

The Russia international has been linked with a January transfer window move to the Gunners.

“I can confirm that Zenit did get an official offer from Arsenal about Andrei Arshavin,” Petrov told the Mail on Sunday. “It was rejected as insufficient.

“They offered about £10 million. No new offers have arrived from them since.

“At the moment, Arsenal are the only club to have approached us about the player.”

Reports also claim that Manchester City are ready to rival the Gunners for the highly rated 27-year-old.
