Andrey Arshavin is one of the famous Russian footballers. Before the 2012 European Championship, he was considered one of the promising footballers, despite the fact that he was already 30 years old. However, the defeat of the Russian national team at Euro was so unpleasant and unexpectedly quick that Andrey was not included in the new team. In this regard, as well as rumors that Arsenal wants to sell their midfielder, questions have arisen. And the main one is where Andrey Arshavin will play in the new season.
In February 2009, Arshavin moved to the London football club Arsenal, in which he is still listed. However, it was in this football club that his career as a football player went down. This is due to the fact that he began to miss balls more and more often, his appearance on the field ceased to bring his results, and as a result, in just 4 years he turned from the best player in the UEFA Cup to the worst.
In connection with such changes, as well as the phenomenal defeat of the Russian national team at Euro 2012, the management of Arsenal became firmly convinced of selling such a hopeless player, whom they had acquired at one time for quite a lot of money.
Today, the career of the 31-year-old football player is in question. He cannot be forgiven for the defeat of Russia in the Championship and the boorish statements addressed to the fans after this loss. Before the European Championship 2012, the management of the St. Petersburg football club "Zenith" was thinking of returning Arshavin to himself. Since he spent the first half of 2012 playing for this particular club on loan (Arsenal gave Arshavin for a while), and had several successful matches, they wanted to buy him back. There was talk about a contract of $ 10 million. However, after all the mistakes that Andrey made in the summer of 2012, they decided to abandon this idea.
The next blow to the player was the refusal of the new head coach of the Russian national team to extend relations with Arshavin - both as a player and as a team captain. In this regard, a situation has developed when the participation of Andrei Arshavin in the new football season remains open.
Dynamo Moscow also offered Arshavin to join his club. However, he refused. Experts assure that Andrei's career is rapidly heading towards decline. However, for some reason, this does not bother him. Experts of the football world assure that a football player does not need to scatter offers, but choose where to go. Since he is unlikely to play at Arsenal, and in winter it will be problematic to find a new club. This state of affairs threatens the player with the loss of precious time - he will be left without practice for almost six months. Taking into account the fact that by sports standards Arshavin is no longer so young, this may well force him to "hang his boots on a nail."
