Zenit St Petersburg midfielder Andrei Arshavin is playing it cool over the prospect of joining Arsenal this summer.
When asked by Sport Weekend about the rumours regarding a move to Arsenal, Arshavin replied: "I have nothing to say about this.
"Now? (There is) nothing specific about my future. I just go (for the match against) Khimki. If nothing changes, I will go to Vladivostok.
"I agree that €15 million (£12 million) was too little, and in this respect understand the leadership of the club."
Andrei Arshavin's agent claims the Russian star is "desperate" to join Arsenal.
The Zenit St Petersburg playmaker is expected to leave his current club before the close of the transfer window.
He has been heavily linked with a move to Barcelona after admitting the Spanish giants are his "dream" club.
"Andrei is desperate to join Arsenal," said Lachter in the Daily Mirror.
"His style of play would suit them perfectly."
While it's reported that Tottenham are ready to break the bank to land Zenit St Petersburg star Andrei Arshavin in an £18 million deal.
The Mail on Sunday says officials from the club are expected to fly out to St Petersburg this week hoping to exploit an impasse in negotiations between Barca and Zenit and persuade Arshavin that he can fulfil his ambition at Spurs.
Russia's top player in Euro 2008, who was one of the revelations of the tournament, is desperate to move to Barca but the Catalan club have gone cold on the deal, leaving Zenit with no bidders.
Barca, having agreed a provisional £12m fee before Euro 2008, are unwilling to go ahead with deal now that Zenit have increased the fee to £20m after his displays in Austria and Switzerland.
AC Milan supremo Adriano Galliani admits they've dropped talks with Arsenal for striker Emmanuel Adebayor.
Galliani told Gazzetta dello Sport: "We've stopped dealing with Arsene Wenger but, at the same time, we reaffirm that Milan have made many important sacrifices in negotiations with its current players - Kaka for example."
Obafemi Martins is staying at Newcastle - after Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insisted he is not interested in him, reports the Sunday Sun.
Amid renewed speculation linking Martins with the Gunners, the paper understands Wenger has discreetly informed Toon officials he has no plans to move for the Nigerian striker.
Instead, Wenger is confident of landing Blackburn's Roque Santa Cruz as a replacement for Emmanuel Adebayor if the Togo striker leaves for Barcelona.
