Zenit chief admits Arshavin loan possibility

Zenit St. Petersburg executive director Maxim Mitrofanov hinted there is a possibility Arsenal midfielder Andrey Arshavin may return to his former club on loan.

«A loan move for Arshavin would interest Zenit. For Andrey it would be a good way to regain his form before Euro-2012, but the decision is up to Arsenal. If they would allow a loan…»

«Have Zenit made an official offer yet?»

«We’ve had talks, so we’ll see where it goes from there. Andrey wants to keep playing in England and nothing is stopping him from doing so. But it is important for him to be at his best in the Euros, so returning home would be a good choice for him. That is why we are discussing the loan option,» Mitrofanov told Sovetsky sport.
