Zenit Drops Arshavin Price
Friday, 15 August 08, 11:35 PM
Russian club Zenit St Petersburg has dropped the price of their talisman Andrei Arshavin.
Zenit were initially asking around 26 million euros for the player, but after both Barca and Tottenham dropped interest because of the high price tag, the club has now decided to drop the price. However the price is thought to be dropped primarily because of Arshavin going on strike and Zenit's poor performance in the league thus far.
Zenit has played 17 league games this season and sits in seventh place, 11 points behind league leaders Rubin Kazin. Club coach Dick Advocaat has indicated that Arshavin's case is affecting the performances of the team.
Arshavin himself expects everything to be settled this week and has stated that where he will move depends on one million dollars.
Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola has stated that Arshavin is just one of the options considered as a replacement for Ronaldinho on the left side of attack, while Tottenham Hotspur coach, Juande Ramos, has been interested in the player throughout the transfer season and sees the player as the replacement for Robbie Keane who recently transfered to Liverpool.
Where will Arshavin go? Only time will tell.
