Andrey Arshavin has shocked Arsenal fans by revealing he wants to play for Barcelona.

The Russian striker, 28, who joined the Gunners in a £16.9m deal five months ago, told The Sun: "If I have the chance to play for Barcelona, I'd be really happy."

Arshavin was ready to join Barca in January, but their dithering allowed Gunners boss Arsene Wenger to step in.
