Arshavin: I lost the confidence of Arsenal boss Wenger

Andrey Arshavin is unsure of his future at Arsenal.

The 30-year-old rejoined Zenit St Petersburg on-loan after losing his first team place at the Emirates, and it is believed they have a £6m option to buy the playmaker - who they sold to the Gunners for £15m just over three years ago - back.

Arshavin said: "I left Arsenal in February to try and regain my level to play for Russia and after the last few months with Zenit I believe it was a successful choice.

"The offer from Zenit was good in every sense. If I had stayed in London then I am convinced that my chance to make the final squad for Russia would have passed.

"I suffered different problems at Arsenal. I lost the confidence of the coach. I wasn't sure why. But I wasn't getting the chances to play.

"I'm now with Zenit - and again after the Euros.

"After the Euros, I will study my future, think about it. And I would like to talk to Wenger before I make any decision."
