Arsenal tonight appeared to have succeeded in their attempt to sign the midfielder Andrei Arshavin from Zenit St Petersburg when the player's agent confirmed a deal had been agreed but that the club must still wait for the Premier League to ratify the transfer tomorrow.
"It was completed in extra-time but we must wait for confirmation," said Dennis Lachter. "In 16 years this has been the most difficult transfer ever." The Premier League confirmed that a number of transfers remain to be signed off tomorrow and Arshavin's is understood to be among those.
The 27-year-old's arrival at the Emirates for a fee of about £15m represents a telling departure in Arsène Wenger's player recruitment policy. Arsenal's manager is notoriously sceptical about buying footballers already at their peak and of conducting business in the mid-season window. But with Arsenal five points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa Wenger is under severe pressure to ensure qualification for next season's Champions League. He is thus in need of a proven performer.
The deal is also notable for the unique part played by the fee demanded by Zenit from Arshavin, which was the sticking point throughout the month, and came close to scuppering the move right up to yesterday's 5pm deadline.
아스날은 제니트로부터 아르샤빈을 데려오기위해 노력한것이 성공한것으로 보인다
아르샤빈의 에이전트와 협상을 완료했고 프리미어리그 사무국의 인증만 남은 상태이다.
데니스 레크쳐가 말하길 "추가시간에 협상을 완료했고 이제 확인만 남은상태입니다 이것은 16년간 가장 어려운
이적일겁니다."
아스날은 15M 정도에 아르샤빈을 영입한것으로 알려지고있다.
