Chelsea, Spurs target Arshavin reveals talks with London club

Zenit St Petersburg midfielder Andrei Arshavin has revealed he's held talks with a London Premiership club.

The unsettled 27-year-old striker, who has been linked with Chelsea, Spurs and Real Madrid, has been told he can move in the January transfer window.

And Arshavin flew to London and spent two days locked in talks with the Premiership side.

Arshavin said: "I went to London and it was on a business trip. But I was also lucky to find time for sightseeing in London. Me and my wife Yulia had a long walk around the capital of Britain, saw Trafalgar Square and many other places.

"I'm very happy about it. When you visit these countries to play football you only see things through the window of the bus."

Both Arshavin and his agent Dennis Lachter refused to name the club they were talking to.
