Man Utd hero Kanchelskis: Arsenal midfielder Arshavin not strong enough for Premier League

Manchester United and Everton hero Andrei Kanchelskis has again attacked Arsenal midfielder Andrey Arshavin.

Kanchelskis believes Arshavin has not adapted to the demands of English football - despite signing for Arsenal almost two years ago.

"Physically, our striker is not ready for British football," said Kanchelskis. "Andrey is a 70-minute player.

"In the first half he played very well and played and assist, but in the match as a whole it wasn't enough.

"Arshavin is good up front if he has freedom,' said Kanchelskis. 'But when he plays rigidly and has to cover, it is hard."
