Reading not keen on Arsenal misfit Arshavin

Reading manager Bryan McDermott has ruled out a move for Arsenal's wantaway winger Andrei Arshavin. The Russian international has been linked with a move away from the Emirates for over a year.


But it appears that Reading will not be his destination of choice at this point, as the R's manager McDermott told reporters he is not a target: "It's one that I've heard many times. He's an Arsenal player. I don't think he will be a Reading player."


Arshavin went on loan to Zenit St. Petersberg last January, and there has been talk of yet another loan move away from the player.
