Wenger: Why I Want AA At Arsenal
-
Arsenal have been granted a work permit for Zenit St Petersburg playmaker Andrei Arshavin ahead of his proposed move to Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners have been in talks with the Russia international and his club Zenit over the last few weeks.
A fee is yet to be agreed, but Arsenal have applied for a permit as they appear to be closing on an agreement.
The Gunners have until Monday to finalise the move and the announcement that they now have a permit in place is likely to see the north London club push to try and finalise his capture.
Arsene Wenger said on Friday he wanted the deal done within 24 hours.

Arsene Wenger: Why I Want Andrei Arshavin At Arsenal
The Gunners boss has explained his reasons for trying to bring the Zenit playmaker to the Emirates Stadium.
With Arsenal having one of the youngest squads in the Premier League, and missing the services of injured players like Cesc Fabregas, Theo Walcott and Tomas Rosicky, Wenger feels Arshavin can give the Gunners a new dimension while reinforcing the squad.
"He's a guy who can go past people in the final third. He can have the key, individually and collectively," the Frenchman said.
"He is an experienced player, 27, a good age and we are a very young side. We will not have Fabregas in the next six to eight weeks, we will not have Walcott in the next five weeks, Rosicky in the next eight weeks.
"You can see with the replay of the FA Cup we have the desire to do well in every competition and one more body could help us." -

legs made of paper.
