Arshavin's agent: Russian star would be interested in move to Spurs

Andrei Arshavin's agent has insisted the Russian would be interested in leaving Zenit St Petersburg for Tottenham.

Arshavin, who was magnificent for the Russians at Euro 2008, has been strongly linked with a move to Barcelona.

An offer from the Spanish giants was £12million short of Zenit's reported asking fee of £24 million however, and the way could be clear for Spurs to make their move.
