Andrei Arshavin Confirm Madrid Move...
Zenit St. Petersburg coach Dick Advocaat told the press yesterday that Real Madrid coach Juande Ramos was a big fan of Russian midfielder Andrei Arshavin.
Arshavin was quick to support the comments of his coach after he revealed that talks were well underway with Spanish giants Real Madrid.
Speaking to the press, Arshavin said, "I can confirm that officials from Zenit have begun preliminary negotiations with Real Madrid about my transfer."
The Russian kept his cards close to his chest though, after not wanting to reveal more information.
"At the moment there is nothing concrete on the table. Also, there is contact with other Spanish clubs, as well as Italian and English clubs too."
Real Madrid have already publicly stated that their top priority is a winger for the winter transfer window, and Arshavin will have a perfect chance to show Madrid fans his worth at the Bernabeu as Zenit face Los Blancos for the closing game of the Champions League group stages later this evening.
