Spurs winning race for £8 million Russian ace !
Tottenham are targeting Russian midfielder Andrei Arshavin according to reports on Sky Sports today. Newcastle have also been linked recently with the 26 year old.
Arshavin has made 229 appearances for the club since joining in 2000 and has managed to bag 55 goals in the process. He has also netted 7 times for Russia in his 26 appearances for them.
Pavel Andreev, Arshavin's agent, has said that they have recieved three offers from big European clubs. "We have three offers, all from big European teams... Now we're considering the pros and cons."
From the few times I have seen him play for Russia he looks to be a very promising talent and would be a great signing for either of his admiring teams.

I don't think we will be able to land him if 3 big european teams are also looking to sign him.

I would not be so sure the money in the premiership is a huge carrot, even the small wield huge clout.
Last year the CL winners picked up an estimated £27m for their trouble. This year the side that finishes rock bottom last in the EPL (DerbY) will pick up £30m for their trouble plus 12 months later a 50% parachute, and 12 months after that a further 25% parachute. A total of £52.5m Kaku for Derby anyone?
