ARSHAVIN GETTING CLOSER TO EMIRATES

Zenit St Petersburg confirms that talks are taking place with Arsenal regarding a deal for Andrei Arshavin. The club's general director, Maxim Mitrofanov, has expressed his hopes a deal can be done within the next two weeks.
 
Arshavin has been looking to leave the Uefa Cup holders in search of a move to a major European league. He impressed at Euro 2008 and was linked with Arsenal's after the tournament.
 
Recently, he was given permission to discuss his departure from Zenit and increased the possibility of January move to Arsenal. Reports suggest Zenit are demanding a £20million fee for Arshavin, which is not what the Gunners had expected.
