Zenit St Petersburg have confirmed Arsenal have signed Andrei Arshavin. The Russian’s on-off move to Emirates Stadium dominated transfer deadline day with the deal not being confirmed by the close of play on Monday.
The Premier League is expected to finalise the paperwork on Tuesday to allow Arshavin to seal his switch to North London and Zenit claim the move has gone through in a deal worth more that £12million. “Both clubs have managed to complete the deal. Arshavin will play for Arsenal from now on,” Zenit spokesman Alexei Petrov told Russian television.
