"Arshavin has agreed personal terms with Spurs" - Says his agent
Andrei Arshavin's agent Dennis Lachter, has just announced in a telephone interview on talkSPORT that his client, Andrei Arshavin, has agreed personal terms with Tottenham Hotspur.
"The only stumbling block though, is Andrei's current club, Zenit. They are financially very stable and do not need to sell Andrei to raise funds.
"Due to this, they are asking for more than is required, which is troubling my client". - Commented Lachter in the interview.
When asked why Arshavin was allowed to speak to Tottenham Hotspur, even before the two clubs had agreed a fee, Lachter went onto add;
"A preliminary fee was agreed, which allowed Andrei to speak with Tottenham Hotspur. After discussing his terms with the club, Andrei was very happy and told me that Tottenham are the club he wants to play for.
"Unfortunately, Zenit increased their valuation of him, which has caused a bit of a problem between the two clubs".
Lachter also added that "I have had many conversations with Juande [Ramos], even before he became manager of Tottenham Hotspur, about Andrei.
"Andrei is a player that Juande has liked for many years now".
So there you have it! Hopefully his club, Zenit, can stop messing around and make a compromise regarding the fee they want.

They will have to allow him to join us as they don't want a player on their hands that doesn't want to be there.
He also said that there is a club from Spain and Italy that are also interested.
I can see us signing him tbh.
Did you record it THBN?
we are unauthorised to record any commercial radio broadcasts unfortunately.
I am a Sevilla fan and a Manchester United fan. I can tell you that Juande has wanted Andrei for at least 3 seasons now. He made an offer 2 seasons ago, but his club reject it. Juande again made a bid 4 months before joining Tottenham Hotspur, but again it was rejected.
One thing you must know about Juande, is that he is very stubborn and persistant. He will get him in the end.
He is a very good player that will be very good for you.
I cannot understand why Manchester United do not want him?
In other news, we've just lost our Steeeeeeeed. :(
PS. Did I mention that we only want proper yids on the THBN FaceBook group?
