Andrei Arshavin's agent has said his client remains a New Year transfer target for Arsenal but claims that - like actress Angelina Jolie - the Russia playmaker could be unattainable.
Arshavin, currently on the books of Zenit St Petersburg, has been told he is free to move on during the January transfer window should a suitable approach for his services be lodged.
His availability has alerted a number of Europe's top clubs, with the 27-year-old widely regarded as one of the continent's top talents.
Tottenham, Arsenal, Real Madrid and Barcelona have all been linked with the midfielder, and are unlikely to be put off by a reported £12million price tag.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has already confirmed he is in the market for creativity, with the club keen to find cover for the injured Cesc Fabregas.
And agent Dennis Lachter told the Daily Mirror: "We know that Arsene Wenger likes the look of Arshavin.
"But I like the look of Angelina Jolie and it doesn't always mean you get what you want.
"Arsenal were interested in signing him last summer and they still are, so we will wait and see what happens.
"There has been a lot of interest in him this time as well from England, Spain and Italy."

the Agent is trying to create competition to up Arshvins selling price greedy git!
Down here in Mozambique southeastern part of Africa. I love arsenal and believe wining formula will come back to the team. Arsene sign Arshavin and take Alex for a defender. Try to call A.cole and Henry back to ur squad and you will not regret. Henry loves the team. Tommmy
Arsene time is come to start using your genius again like you used to be 4 yrs ago, please get some players........
2 edwardebadan,it's not my crystal ball that has been broken,it's yours!!!!by the way,i'm not using f1 cars,but i've used jet concorde turbo supercharge!!!!dont play2 eeh...
I am a strong fan of Arsenal football club in Nigerian.Please Arsene wenger should buy strong,energetic and experience players and not to go and buy children as footballers.As at 2004 Arsenal didnt loose any match,sake of experience and strong players as of that time,let him go out and buy players that will lift trophy and he should stop playing with important matches,what we need is trophy and not to watch children football,he should stop the gamble.
Cheers,
Jack.
sign ashley cole ahamedtariqalam ?????? where the **** do you think chelsea got him from???? and wenger dont know anything about football HONEY AND W.... wenger let pires go because he was "shot", he was never the same after he got that serious knee injury and his age was against him... henry left because HE wanted to go to barcalona, he was one of the greatest players we've ever had, and I loved him to bits, but he wasnt the same player in his last year with us.... as for selling gilberto, why are people saying that was a terrible move/ when he did manage to get a game in his last season he looked a fair way off the pace, tended to lose possession a lot and often got moaned at by the arsenal fans, most of who seemed to be of the opinion that he should be sold why we could still get a few quid for him. gilberto knew he would struggle to get into the team if he stayed, thats why he left, and fair play to him... as for hleb, he left for more money, simple as that.... and if you look at his goals per game record for us, he wasnt worth more.. some of the other players that have left did so because they didnt have the bottle, or the confidence, to fight for a place ... thats why they left
Arsen wernger is a mad man, he kwnos nothing about football but pretending to be alpha and omega of football. How on Earth can you sold henry and rober pires at the sametime. Later sold Hleb and flemmini at same time and bought Silver from Man United any reasoning or logic conclusion to be drawn from this crazy money maker master plan.Because of the Love I have for club called Arsenal, defence and good player at the mildfield will help but can't be an immidiate solutions to current Arsenal misfourtune.
I am a man u fan but i cherish Steve G and it hurt me a lot of what he is going true now...Sorry Liverpool let see how good is Raphael do it without Steve G...Sorry Liverpool your chance of wining trophy is Steve G and now he is out...
Arshavin, Benzema and Alex are more than enough for the club to win champions and premier leagues. Please Wenger, we respect you. Sign them. It is not enough to play football without winning trophies. Please sign them.
Arsenal need a good defensive midfielder to replace Flamini and Gilberto. Denilson is a year or two away yet, and Song is not focused enough. Or better still, bring in a reliable centre half and move Toure into the holding position. And please please get rid of Eboue - super talent, but no team focus and he tries too hard to be noticed. Bendtner is a perfect late impact player, like Kanu.
IN - ALEX
OUT - SONG and EBOUE
Arshavin one of the best player of the world, because "France football" gave him 6th place
F**k you you keep reposting "Your message has been correctly received, it may take a few minutes to appear."
sign arshavin and benzema mr arsene wenger........as a fans of arsenal......I told you
arshavin sign goona be a good sign no doubt but they must sell bendtner and buy a experianced def ender like a.cole. with arshavin and a. cole ihope arsenal will succeed
Include Arshavin together with Alex and Arsenal should brandish the type of soccer they're capable of playing!!! AAA for [2009]
