Andrei Arshavin worth £20 million?

July 6, 2008

There’s little doubt that Andrei Arshavin was one of the stars of Euro 2008, giving one of the performances of the tournament when Russia knocked out Holland in the quarterfinals. His current coach, Dick Advocaat, has slapped a £20 million value on the player as the Premiership’s elite queue up to tempt him away from Zenit St Petersburg

Arshavin however appears to be favouring a transfer to Spain, and Barcelona. Rumours are abound that currently Arshavin is in London speaking to two of richest clubs in England, Chelsea and Arsenal.

Dick Advocaat said about his acceptance that Arshavin may be leaving the club:

We can’t keep hold of the player if someone offers good money - in the region of £20m to £25m.

According to the player’s agent, Dennis Lachter, Chelsea are no longer interested after they sign Deco from Barcalona:

I don’t believe that after this acquisition of Deco the club have retained their interest in Arshavin.
