Arsenal are reported to be ready to make an improved £12m bid for Zenit St Petersburg's Andrei Arshavin after the Russian international openly stated his desire to move to the north London club.
Arshavin is keen to leave Zenit in this month's transfer window, and though Manchester City have also been linked with a deal the player himself has made clear his desire to move to the north London side.
The Gunners have been strongly linked with the Russia forward, and are thought to have been in negotiations after having had an initial £10million bid turned down. Latest reports now suggest that Arsene Wenger is preparing to make an improved £12m bid this week.
