Russia captain Andrei Arshavin is considering offers from three major European clubs, amid reports linking him with a move to Tottenham.

The 26-year-old playmaker, who is currently at Zenit St Petersburg, has caught the eye with a string of impressive performances for club and country in recent months.

He is understood to be keen on a move away from Russia and his agent Pavel Andreev has confirmed there are a trio of offers on the table.

"We have three offers, all from big European teams," Andreev told Sport Express. "Now we're considering the pros and cons."

Tottenham are reportedly leading the chase, but Arsenal have also been linked with a move for the Russian.

Marseille are believed to be the third team in the running for his signature, but Arshavin has made no secret of his desire to play in the Premier League.

He said: "For now I am here in the UAE (on a pre-season tour) as a Zenit player and I am only thinking about tomorrow's training session.

"Regarding my future, I have already said I'd like to try one of Europe's top leagues, among which the Spanish and English leagues interest me most."
