Aston Villa will be making no complaint to the Premier League over why Arsenal were allowed sign Russia playmaker Andrei Arshavin after the closure of the winter transfer window.

Villa's chief operating officer Paul Faulkner will be attending a meeting of the Premier League in London on Thursday at which the deal is expected to be raised.

Villa boss Martin O'Neill said: "I would have nothing to say at this minute because Paul Faulkner has told me there is a Premier League meeting on Thursday and I think some points are being raised - although not necessarily by us as Aston Villa.

"I think there is going to be clarification about the transfer window extension. Absolutely. Am I concerned by it? Listen, I'm not."
