Sandor Varga: If Arshavin returns to Russia, it will be for Anzhi

Prominent football agent Sandor Varga in an interview to Sport Den za dnem spoke about Andrey Arshavin’s chances of remaining at Arsenal after being demoted to the reserve team.

«There is nothing extraordinary about his demotion. I’ve seen Bergkamp, Peti, and Henry play for Arsenal reserves, every case is different,» the Hungarian agent said.

«His talent has never been in doubt and he hasn’t lost it. He’s managed to avoid serious injuries, like the one Rosicky had, so, if Giggs, for example, can play at 40, why shouldn’t Andrey?»

«At the moment clubs are careful not to spend too much, so the only feasible option for him is Anzhi. It s the only club that can offer him the high enough salary. Unless he will agree to earn less at Rostov or Krylya. Zenit? The St. Petersburg club have one of the most balanced squads in Europe, so it’s unlikely.»
