adminThe 31-year-old was caught on camera causing a disturbance outside a London nightclub on Saturday night, just hours after once again being omitted from Arsene Wenger’s squad.
Arguing in Russian with doormen and other revellers, it appears Arshavin had to be restrained by a friend at one point. It continues a sorry fall from grace for Arshavin, who was Arsenal’s club record signing when Wenger bought him from Zenit St Petersburg for £15 million in January 2009.
After spending a spell back at his old club last year to try and recover some form, he has only made two starts — both in the Capital One Cup — this season and just seven substitute appearances in the Premier League.
The footage may damage his hopes of finding another club, with Arshavin previously making clear that he will not be retiring at the end of the season and would be interested in joining another English side.
Arshavin earns £95 000 a week on his four-and-a-half year contract that runs out this summer, but he has largely warmed the bench for the past two years.
Speaking last week, Arshavin said: “It’s clear I’m going to leave Arsenal. It was Arsene’s decision, he didn’t use me, but I still train and I feel fit enough to play. I do not see any problems playing for another team.” — Mailonline.
