Arsenal midfielder Andrey Arshavin admits he's struggled to adapt to life in London.

"It is very difficult for me, everything is unusual," Arshavin told The Sunday Telegraph.

"Now I'm in a hotel. Next week I will move. I have to settle. Everything is difficult.

"I'm happy to be here in English football - it is the best league in the world. I am happy with my professional life but I am unhappy in everyday life, it is difficult for me.

"I am alone for the first time in my life, I had never left St Petersburg before."
