Arshavin going on strike?

Arshavin going on strike?

28 November 2008 - 07:24

Zenit St Petersburg president Alexander Dyukov has hit out at Andrei Arshavin, warning that if he decides to 'go on strike' it will be the end of his career in professional football.

  • Mauricio Pochettino confirms fresh injury blow for Chelsea star
  • Arsenal want to make four marquee signings this summer

  • 'If Arshavin goes on strike it will be the end of his career in professional football,' said Dyukov. 'I don't believe he's going to do it.



    'We can't just let him go. We must receive proper compensation for him. It was his decision to extend his contract with us last year and he was richly rewarded for it.



    'Naturally we are prepared to listen to offers for him, as we have been in the past. But, frankly, the summer's offer from Tottenham was indecent.



    'They suggested paying us by instalments for four years. That would be some kind of loan which was unacceptable to us.'
