Andrei Arshavin has experienced quite a rollercoaster ride in his football career. Excited reactions greeted his signing with Arsenal. It took two days for the public to learn about the deal that his parent club and Arsenal concluded in the last moments of the player transfer window. Regarding the transfer's actual completion date, fans were left in the dark. At last, Arshavin appeared in front of a small group of his team's fans outside a frigid stadium and famously yelled, "I am Gooner." Arshavin had exceptional games in his early matches. On the pitch, he made few moves, but with a single touch, he could do more than some of his teammates could in twenty.

Arsen Zakharyan is a target for Chelsea, and Andrey Arshavin has advised him that he must join the Blues. Todd Boehly was trying to draft in cover for Thomas Tuchel's injury-plagued midfield when the 19-year-old wunderkind was heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge. After it was reported that Todd Boehly had activated the £12.6 million release clause in his contract with Dynamo Moscow, Zakharyan confirmed that he had accepted an offer from the Blues. However, several issues confronting the residents of West London prevented a deal from being concluded.

After spending presumably the entire month negotiating, during the final moments of the January 2008 transfer window, a deal appeared to be struck between Arsenal and Zenit St Petersburg for Arshavin's signature.

It was announced two days after the window shut. In fact, given that the deal was not announced until around two days after the window shut, who knows when the transfer was concluded? Eventually, though, a slightly bemused Arshavin appeared in front of a small crowd of Arsenal fans outside a freezing Emirates stadium, and uttered his immortal words: "I am Gooner."

Neves has been the subject of interest from a number of sides for some time. The main names that keep cropping up are United, Arsenal and Barcelona.

According to Tutto Juve, Juventus could be open to allowing Arthur Melo to leave the club if a reasonable offer arrives in this window. The Serie A giants are willing to accept a loan move for the midfielder with a buy option, and Arsenal have reportedly reignited their interest in the Brazilian. Arthur Melo was close to signing for Arsenal in January, only for Juventus to disagree with the Gunners over the loan proposal on the table. As a result, the midfielder stayed back at the Allianz Stadium. However, he is surplus to requirements in Turin as Massimiliano Allegri moves in a different direction with the choice of players at his disposal.
