No Arshavin move to Spurs, again

Posted by Stevio in Transfers on August 30th, 2008

Zenit St. Petersburg manager Dick Advocaat says Andrei Arshavin will not be joining Tottenham Hotspur.

The Dutchman said: “The door’s closed, the deal’s closed.

“Tottenham offered £16m and that’s not enough, so that’s the end of it.”

He added: “They [Spurs] had several weeks of time to buy him and they did not offer £22m like everybody has been writing, but just £16m.

“I think that Arshavin costs more than £16m.”

Considering a proven Premiership player in Robbie Keane was sold for £18m, paying more than £16m for an unproven player at Premiership level is crazy. Spurs should move on if the Russians aren’t willing to negotiate.
