Andrey Arshavin nears Arsenal exit

Andrey Arshavin could be on his way out of Arsenal as manager Arsene Wenger is reportedly willing to listen to offers for the Russian in January.

The midfielder has failed to cement a spot in the Gunners side and has experienced a frustrating season at the Emirates.

While the French boss is prepared to sell the 30-year-old, it is believed that Wenger will only offload the playmaker if a replacement is secured, according to The Mirror.

Arshavin's former club Zenit St Petersburg are thought to be open to re-signing the midfielder, while Lokomotiv Moscow could renew their interest in the player following a rejected summer bid.
