Arsenal ready to offload Andrey Arshavin?

Arsenal are reportedly ready to sell Andrey Arshavin back to Zenit St. Petersburg in January.

The forward joined the Gunners from the Russian club for £12m in 2009 and returned there on loan for a three-month spell last season.

Manager Arsene Wenger is now eager to cash in on the 31-year-old before his contract expires in the summer, according to The Mirror.

Arshavin has scored once in eight games for Arsenal during the current campaign.
