Andrei Sergeyevich Arshavin ( ; sometimes romanized as Andrey; born 29 May 1981) is a Russian footballer who plays for the English Premier League team Arsenal and captains the Russian national team. He has won both the UEFA Cup and the UEFA Super Cup with Zenit.

The 2006 Russian footballer of the year is a versatile attacking midfielder who can also play as a second striker. Arshavin gained international attention during his breakthrough performance at the UEFA Euro 2008 championship in Austria-Switzerland which resulted in his inclusion in the Team of the Tournament.

Signing for Arsenal in 2009, Arshavin enjoyed a successful start to his career with the Gunners, becoming Premier League Player of the Month in April 2009 and Arsenal's player of the month in March and April 2009. During the 2008 � 09 season, he scored six goals in 12 league appearances for Arsenal. In a match against Liverpool, Arshavin became the first player to score four league goals at Anfield since 1946. Former Arsenal forward Dennis Bergkamp has speculated that Arshavin has "every chance of becoming a favourite of the London fans".

3.02 min. | 4.88 user rating		 The Andrei Arshavin Movie produced by Michael Cirigliano , shows all of his goals with Russia in Euro 2008 and most of his goals from last year at Arsenal , including the 4 Goals at Anfield. Arshavin is a very great player for his age , and is very deadly with the ball , that's why he's one of my favorite players. Although , Arshavin has said before , I will not be at Arsenal until I retire , I will leave Arsenal to spend one or two more years at my home , which is Zenit. Nonetheless, he is an amazing player , and that's why he's one of my favorites. ;)
