Friday, April 12, 2013 - Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed that he expects the Russian international to exit north London in the summer.

The 31-year old who signed from Zenit St Petersburg for a reported £15m in January 2009, will be out of contract at the end of the season.

The diminutive forward has made nine substitute appearances in this season's Premier League and Champions League, with two starts in the League Cup.

Wenger told reporters: "I don't think he will stay here, because he doesn't play enough.
"He is at the end of his contract at the end of the season, then he will decide what he will do.

"But he has shown 100% commitment at absolutely every session, he has been an example for everybody.

"He has been questioned many times about his commitment, but if you saw him every day you would respect him for what he does on a daily basis. He has been absolutely fantastic."
Arshavin’s highest point in an Arsenal shirt remains the four goals he scored at Anfield in the 4-4 draw with Liverpool.

Since then he has been blowing hot and cold plus injuries have not made his arsenal career any better.
