Everton have expressed an interested in bringing Russian international Andrei Arshavin to the Premiership.
The 26-year-old attacking midfielder has been a star for club and country this year, not least as he inspired Russia to a 2-1 win over England in Moscow, helping them to Euro 2008.
Arshavin has just won his first ever league title with club Zenit St. Petersburg, but with the Russian season now over he is prepared to seek new challenges abroad and move in January.
Everton have already faced the player during a 1-0 win at Goodison Park in this year's Uefa Cup.

oh yes please as well, a great player and I was impress with him when we played against them!

If he comes looks like Osman would have competition for place, he is exactly the type of player we are looking for.

Amazing player, not sure who i would prefer, Arshavin or Manuel.

Neiler · December 31, 2007

I havnt seen him play, but dont Zentih have a lot of cash and are owned by a Russian Billionaire. I think there Russia equivelent of Chelsea, with that in mind i cant see him going on the cheap.

Maybe him wanting to leave to come to us could make the difference.

Hes a winger right?

atrottel · December 31, 2007

Not necessarily a winger. More an attacking midfielder who can play on the wing or up front. Think of a combination of fat Frank, "Twinkletoes" Cole, and Leon Osman. On second thoughts, probably better not to.

Seamus Colemole · December 31, 2007

He looked very skillful in games against us. I'd like to see him come in.

Bruce Wayne · December 31, 2007

He's certainly looked impressive whenever I've seen him.

atrottel · December 31, 2007

He wanted to come to Newcastle, but the problems at the club are probably turning off both sides.

He's also being "monitored" by Spurs, but then they have an entire team of midfielders and might be distracted by the theatre around Berbatov.

He'd be a dream for us. Has seen the ground and fans and city and played against us recently. Depends if we could afford his wages, I guess.

As said before, I would explode if we got him.

TX Bill · December 31, 2007

Wouldn't be disappointed if he came to us.

i will say the same about arshavin as i did about essien when moyes looked at getting him when he first got the manager job... get him asap before 1 of the big 4 do.

i think the lad is one of the hottest properties to come out of russia for decades.

if the rumours are true that mcfadden is putting in a transfer request (and jutkiewicz is going out on loan) , then i think arshavin will complement aj and yak well. leaving great backup in the shape of vaughan and anichebe.

tbh though , i cant see this deal happening.
