Arshavin's agent denies midfielder is in London

6:59 AM by SW

Andrei Arshavin's agent has denied that the midfielder has flown to London to complete his transfer from Zenit St Petersburg to Arsenal.

Reports suggested that Arshavin would attend today's game against West Ham at the Emirates Stadium before finalising a £15m transfer to the Gunners, but his representative Dennis Lachter has said, "No, he is on his way to St Petersburg."

Wenger yesterday denied that the club had applied for a work permit for Arshavin and said that they had not yet agreed a fee with Zenit, despite reports which suggested that the Russian had dropped his wage demands by £1m to help the deal go through.

Arsenal have until midnight on Monday to finalise a transfer which they have pursued throughout the January transfer window.
