Agent: Arshavin will stay with Arsenal at least until end of season

Phil Smith, a football agents with close ties to English Premier League club Arsenal, has dismissed rumour linking Russia captain with a move away from the Emirates.

«In your previous interviews you mentioned Anzhi’s advances…»

«We had no official offers for Arshavin.»

«Not even from Zenit, who recently lost their key man Danny for eight months due to injury?»

«I repeat, we had no offers for him.»

«Would the Gunners be willing to part with him if the right offer came?»

«The club said it wants to keep Andrey, he insisted he wants to remain here. So, in my view, it is out of question. I wouldn’t expect any news on this matter until the summer,» Smith told Sovetsky sport.
