Andrey Arshavin has given Arsenal something to worry about after saying he would be 'really happy' to play for Barca.
Arsenal forward Andrey Arshavin would be 'really happy' to play for Barcelona. The Russia international signed for the Gunners in the winter transfer window from Zenit St Petersburg for a fee in the region of £15million. Arshavin has made a terrific start to his career at Emirates Stadium, scoring six goals in 12 Premier League starts. However, the 28-year-old has been quoted as declaring his interest in one day moving to European champions Barca. He said in The Sun: "If I have the chance to play for Barcelona, I'd be really happy." Arshavin recently stated that he was settled at Arsenal and that he would one day like to return to Zenit.
