Fulham interested in signing Arsenal forward Andrei Arshavin

Fulham are considering a move for Arsenal's unsettled forward Andrei Arshavin, according to reports.

The Evening Standard understands that Fulham are interested in the Russia captain, who is in the last year of his contract with the Gunners.

Arshavin spent the second half of last season on loan at boyhood club Zenit St Petersburg, who are still believed to be want to sign the 31-year-old on a permanent basis.

London is still understood be Arshavin's favoured destination, as his wife Julia is pregnant with the couple's third child.

A move to Craven Cottage would require Arshavin to take a significant pay cut on his £80,000-a-week wage at the Emirates Stadium.
