Arsenal And Zenit Agree Fee For Arshavin; Personal Terms Met Just one hurdle remains as this transfer saga draws to a close... Latest reports from Sky indicate that Andrei Arhsavin's move from Zenit St. Petersburg to Arsenal is on the absolute verge of going through. Within the last few minutes it has been said that the Gunners have agreed a fee with their Russian counterparts, and that Arshavin himself has received a wage offer acceptable to him. All that remains now is one obstacle - albeit a tricky one. Zenit are apparently holding out for a payment from Arshavin himself to compensate for his contractual value; until the Russian side receive a promise of this money then the transfer cannot take place. However, with all else being confirmed, it is likely that this will be dealt with within the hour. UPDATE 17:26 CET - It is confirmed that Arshavin has passed his medical. All that is needed now it Zenit's permission for the move to take place - but that hinges on the aforementioned player.
