Arshavin ok times 20

The Russian playmaker competed a contreversial move to Arsenal past the deadline and it was widely expected to be confronted by some of the chairmen in the annual Premier League meeting today. But all of the chairmen said ok to the deal and no fuss was made. The most likely party to try and tamper with the deal was Aston Villa, who chasing fourth spot along with Arsenal. This move could improve Arsenal's chances of getting that all important fourth place finish.

But now the transfer has been approved by all, the North London club will be looking to the upcoming North London derby against old rivals Tottenham. Arshavin could feature, but looks a doubt after admitting he isn't fully fit. We are all looking forward to seeing the excellent player in action, and I no doubt, will be following his first games with some relish.
