Arshavin on his way out of Arsenal at Galatasaray bid £4m for Russian flop

 

Arsenal have edged closer to offload big-money flop Andrey Arshavin after Galatasary made a £4million offer.

QPR boss Mark Hughes is also interested in signing the Russian playmaker but the Turkish club have made their move to take him ahead of the new season.
The club are working hard to trim Arsene Wenger's squad, with Arshavin one of the key players Arsenal are keen to sell given his £70,000-per-week wages.

Exit door: Andrey Arshavin will leave Arsenal as soon as the right offer comes in

Arshavin, 31, was loaned out to former club Zenit St Petersburg last season but a permanent move back to his homeland has fallen through.
The Russia captain has expressed an interest in a potentially lucrative move to the Middle East but QPR and Galatasaray are watching developments.
Arsenal want in the region of £7million for Arshavin, but are willing to negotiate on a fee given their desire to offload the Russian.
