Odil Ahmedov wants Arsenal move

Anzhi Makhachkala midfielder Odil Ahmedov has issued a 'come and get me' plea to Arsenal.

The 24-year-old, who has 44 caps for Uzbekistan, was a reported target for the Gunners last year while playing for Pakhtakor Tashkent.

Ahmedov has now set his sights on a move to a bigger club after impressing in his first season in the Russian league.

"I'm really happy to be playing at Anzhi, they're a club with a big future," said Ahmedov. "But I want to try in England or Spain.

"Clearly all the clubs in Spain and England are wonderful, but I would like, if I had the choice, to play at Arsenal."

Ahmedov was named Anzhi's player of the year for 2011.
