“We are always interested in Arshavin, but I can neither confirm nor deny whether we have made an offer.”
Meanwhile the clubs sponsors, Gazprom, who are in charge of transfers into the club were quoted as saying.
“The player’s return is possible if he decides on it, we all have to return to our homelands sooner or later.”
