As reported by "Goal.com", London's "Fulham" and St. Petersburg's "Zenit" will try to acquire Andrei Arshavin, who belongs to London's "Arsenal" team, in January.

The head coach of the "Gunners", Arsene Wenger, is willing to accept one of these offers, but the 31-year-old footballer will only be sold if the club receives at least a £5 million compensation.

The Russian national team player recently returned to his homeland, where he defended the honor of the mentioned "Zenit" team, but the participants of the UEFA Champions League did not want to acquire the full rights to this player, so Arshavin returned to London in the summer.

It is announced that "Zenit" is leading the race for the acquisition of the Russian, as the club's strategist Luciano Spalletti recently stated that he still wants to see the forward in his team.

This season, Arshavin appeared on the field six times wearing the "Arsenal" jersey and scored two goals.
