Advocaat resigned to losing Arshavin

Wednesday, 7 January 2009

Zenit St Petersburn coach Dick Advocaat has admitted that he expects Russian playmaker Andrei Arshavin to leave for another club.

The 27-year-old has been a target for Arsenal for some time, but has also attracted interest from other European clubs.

Reports in the British tabloid media this morning suggest the Gunners may be about to seal a deal for a transfer fee of €12m.
