Zenit St Petersburg are hoping to bring Andrey
Arshavin back for a second spell at the club, with a loan approach
having been put to Arsenal.
The Russia international has struggled for form with the Gunners
this season, sparking speculation that he could soon be on his way out
of the club.A return to his homeland was widely touted during the January transfer window and could still be pushed through as Russian clubs have until the end of February to complete their transfer business.
Zenit are looking to pull off a major coup by snaring Arshavin,
with it their intention to tempt the 30-year-old with the promise of regular football in the build-up to Euro 2012."Arshavin would interest us in terms of having him on loan," Zenit general director Maxim Mitrofanov was quoted as saying by local media on Wednesday.
"[Besides helping Zenit] Andrey would also be well prepared for the upcoming Euro 2012 finals. The question is what Arsenal
really want, would they want a loan deal?"

A step in the right direction as regards reducing our wage bill. The deal should have happened earlier..
