Andrei Arshavin's agent has said he is "very confident" the player's move from Zenit St Petersburg will be confirmed by the Premier League on Tuesday.A Zenit spokesman had said that the deal had fallen through and the 27-year-old was returning to the club.But agent Dennis Lachter told BBC Sport the deal had been agreed by all parties and only needs to be made official by the Premier League."It was completed in extra-time but we must wait for confirmation," he said.Lachter added that "in 16 years this has been the most difficult transfer ever" without wanting to go into details of the sticking points in the deal.The clubs had been in discussions over the move for the duration of the transfer window, but the 1700 GMT deadline passed without any official word on the player's future.It was understood that Arsenal had agreed a fee with Zenit, during which time Arshavin, one of the stars of Euro 2008, accepted personal terms and passed a medical.The Associated Press and Reuters then claimed the deal collapsed when the clubs could not reach agreement.Reports said the move broke down over the size of the fee and compensation Zenit would be paid for allowing Arshavin to break his contract.But later on Monday AP quoted Zenit spokesman Alexei Petrov as saying: "The deal was signed for three-and-a-half years and the financial details will be disclosed tomorrow."The Agence France Presse agency claimed Arshavin has joined Arsenal "until June 2012 for £12m".Arshavin travelled to London on Sunday in order to complete the formalities of the move before the transfer deadline. However, after being pictured in Hertfordshire, key figures in the deal said that Arshavin had left for an airport and the move was off, amidst suggestions that the two clubs differed in their valuation of the player.BBC Radio 5 Live's Mike Sewell said that another sticking point was Zenit's demands for half of Arshavin's signing-on fee.Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has remained hopeful throughout that he would land his man."We are always confident, we try our best, if we can find an agreement, we will do it," he said earlier."These kind of stories sometimes develop in the last minute on the final day of the transfer window. It is very difficult to predict."However, he also suggested that the signing of Arshavin, who became a talisman and central figure for Zenit and his country, at Euro 2008, would not alter his faith in the young team at his disposal."There is always a danger that people always want a wonder man, but I do not believe in that."I believe we have to keep going, and accept that the expectation level on him would be very high."It is rumoured that Arshavin will take the number 13 shirt previously held by Alexander Hleb, who was sold to Barcelona last summer.

[Captain Planet]

Need confirmation or I will not be able to sleep tonight.

[Guest LucaPiano]

Its like were signing fricken Messi, this guy wont be here more then 3 years, waste of money, he already coming out his prime

[Taurus]

Agree with tulse on this

[darkman]

Too early to say a waste of money and considering the prices of other transfers (i.e Darren Bent) £15mil is not badHe looks top class from what I've seen

[MetaFives]

smhdont care if we sign him or notall throughout this, wenger >>>showing he won't swayed or forced into buyinga big SMH @ the idiot on SSN saying that arshavin would be like henry SMH

[Mephisto]

Agree with tulse on this

But it means we wont have to see Eboue pretending to be a midfielder anymore.

[BATTY BOY BUM BANDIT]

LMAO @ him being world class

[Heero Yuy]

compared to some of the trash that actually plays in our midfield the guy is messi, diaby, denilson, eboue.. Yeah Arshavin is short term, but i could see him being a very postive impact now which is what we need. We already have players waiting in the wings that are no were near ready... lol saying the guys coming out of his prime when midfielders hit prime between 26,27,28,29..The guy was arguabley one of the best performers at the euro, caught the eye on the world stage, probably his biggest moment and recognition in his career and you say hes comming out of this prime, seriously???

[Tom]

I'm just glad we've added to the squad a player that isn't in their teens.

[darkman]

Still not %100 percent confirmed. Transfer is a joke

[captain capo]

SSN Zenit saying they received nearly 17 mil for him.

[LS]

SSN Zenit saying they received nearly 17 mil for him.

f*ck*ng hell. People have to give Wenger credit 'cause if this guy flops, he's going to have to take the blame for this. (When i mean flop i mean fails to carry the whole team on his back)

[HangTheDJ]

aint 3mil of that out of arshavins own pocket though?he's gonna be so sick for them

[Lenny]

Arshavin said he wants no.23

[Capricious Beats]

this guy is world class.

Never played in England or a top European league. He is quality no doubt but World Class is jumping the gun.£15M is small change for United or Barca and neither of them or anybody else would put it up. So lets see what he does before geting hyped.

The same could have been said for Eduardo (no english exp or top european league b4 signing)United have Tevez, Rooney, Ronaldo, Berbatov, Nani, Giggs, Wellbeck, Tosic, all offensive players etc, why would they buy him?Barca have Henry, Eto'o, Messi, Bojan, Helb, Iniesta, Gudjonhsen etc why would they sign him.

Well Eduardo is again quality but not World Class. You have Adebayor, Bendtner, Walcott, RVP, Vela, Nasri, Rosicky, Eduardo, Wilshire, Ramsey etcThats as many as those teams. Why would you buy him? Because he betters your squad he wouldnt better theirs. Even Man City didnt try and sign him.

Capricious who do you support?
