The agent of Andrei Arshavin says the midfielder’s club Zenit St Petersburg and Spurs are struggling to agree a transfer fee.<\/p>\n

Arshavin’s agent Dennis Lachter said: “Andrei has made it known he wants to leave Zenit and he would like to go to Tottenham.<\/p>\n

“He likes the way Tottenham play football and he is a big admirer of Juande Ramos.<\/p>\n

“Ramos very much wants to sign Andrei as he is his number one target.<\/p>\n

“Daniel Levy is doing everything to make the deal but it is difficult to agree a fee with Zenit.<\/p>\n

“Ramos has been following Andrei from his time in charge of Seville.<\/p>\n

“At this point there is some talks with Tottenham but nothing complete because of the high fee Zenit want for Andrei.<\/p>\n

“The gap is huge between the two clubs as Zenit are looking a lot of money for Andrei.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
