Zenit want £24m for Arshavin

The Russian striker has been linked with Arsenal, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Tottenham.

Zenit general director Maxim Mitrofanov claimed: “We have voiced our opinion on this matter on many occasions and it is still the same.

“We are only prepared to sell for a lot of money.

“We are not talking about a charity called ‘Help Arshavin Make His Dream Come True’. We are talking business.”
