Tottenham Hotspurs have emerged as the unlikely favorites to land Russian sensation Andrei Arshavin reports can confirm.
Arshavin has been linked with fellow London clubs Arsenal and Chelsea but none followed up with a concrete bid, Spurs have seen the gap and are said to be on the verge of launching a £21.5 million pound bid.
Zenit official Konstantin Sarsaniya stated "With Tottenham we have contacts," Sarsaniya told the Russian press.
"This English club is really interested in acquiring Andrei but, as I understand, €27million (£21.5million) is too high a price for them.
"For Spurs it is unacceptable. Tottenham are ready to pay in the region of €20million (£15.9million) for Arshavin."
