Arshavin Seals Arsenal Move

[Brody]

Sky sources understand Andrei Arshavin has officially completed his transfer from Zenit St Petersburg to Arsenal, signing a three-and-a-half-year deal with the Gunners.
The Russia international passed a medical and agreed personal terms with Arsenal on Monday, but the switch to Emirates Stadium was not sealed until the day after the deadline, following delayed ratification from the Premier League.
The move follows a hugely protracted saga which included lengthy negotiations between the Gunners and Zenit over the attacker's fee, with the Uefa Cup holders pushing for a lump sum of £15million.
Arshavin and Zenit were also in talks over a final payment that threatened to scupper the move, but the deal has now been rubber-stamped after the matter was resolved and the paperwork finalised on Tuesday.
The talented schemer could make his Arsenal debut against bitter North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, live on Sky Sports 1 & HD1, as the club seek to break back into the top four.

Arshavin is unlikely to make debut against spurs as he is not match fit apparently he said in an interview we will wait and see and be decided on friday or saturday.

I see him has a player than can bring things to live for arsenal and just add a little bit of extra class to arsenal

[Immenseman]

I think he's a wicked player, will link play up for Arsenal. Score and supply goals.

Nice to see the FA bending the rules for Arsenal.

The FA didn't. All paperwork was submitted before 5PM. Nice accusations though.
