Where Should Arshavin Go?

After Euro 2008, rumors about Russian's superstar, Andrei Arshavin leaving Zenit is spreading out, signaled big clubs to spend money buying him. Big clubs start to find a way to sign him but the price tag is too far expensive for some clubs. The only clubs who is reported still pursued this playmaker are Tottenham Hotspurs and Barcelona.

Even though Nou Camp is Arshavin primary target, there are still possibilities to see Arshavin to set foot in England. Luckily, the price tag is reduced by Zenit to a lower price, allowing Barca and Tottenham to continue their hunt for this forward.

Arshavin's outstanding performance in Euro 2008 for Russia attracts the attention of Spaniard coach, Juande Ramos to sign him and he is reported to be most interested person with him. Although Arshavin dreams a move to Barcelona, but according to Guardiola, Barcelona's coach, Arshavin is just one of their option and they do not necessarily have to sign him in as there are still lots of players on the market have the chances to be in Barca's squad next season.

Juande Ramos does not give up in signing this Russian and had already made personal contact with him and it seems that Arshavin is interested to go to White Hart Lane. He like the attacking style of Tottenham and a move to Tottenham would not be impossible. As Robbie Keane had walked out the club to join Rafa's side at the Anfield and Berbatov is most likely will be in Old Trafford soon, Ramos needs to sign players which is suitable to fill the empty seats leave behind.

Zenit's coach, Advocaat meanwhile stated that everything will be decided this week. These rumors had really affected the overall performance of the team. With only sits in seventh place this season after 17 matches, this thing needs to be resolved as soon as possible. Advocaat also had seen a possible transfer if Arshavin should leave the club.

But who is he? Zenit understands that they can't stop Arshavin to leave and they would have to prepare for the worst. To be in Barcelona will be almost impossible to Arshavin and England might be his only target left. Zenit is planning to sign Miguel Alves from Dynamo Moscow but is is look like impossible transfer as the club demands €30 million for their player. It causes they change their attention to this Feyenoord's midfielder, De Guzman, who is currently play for Oranje in Olympics. Maybe this is their only option left for Zenit but there is nothing they could do as Arshavin is not happy at Russia.
