Zenit St Petersburg coach Luciano Spalletti has admitted his admiration for Arsenal star Andrey Arshavin.
The Russian is being linked with an £8 million return to Zenit.
"He is a quality player. I have the greatest respect for him as a player. People in St. Petersburg value him even more. However, I think this is no time to speak about his possible return to Zenit," Spalletti told Sport-Express.
