Russian to link up with Arshavin at the Emirates?

Rumours circulating in today's press have seen Pavel Pogrebnyak linked with a move to Arsenal this summer.

Pogrebnyak, 25, a tall and powerful striker has scored 4 goals in 12 games for Zenit this season and has also managed 5 goals in 14 games at international level. He is a potent finisher with both feet, he is also good in the air and also a free-kick taker.

The Zenit St.Petersburg striker formed a potent partnership with Andrey Arshavin while the winger was in St Petersburg and they have also linked up at international level,although an injury prevented Pogrebnyak from taking part in last years' European Championships.

Emmanuel Adebayor has been linked with a move to AC Milan this summer and if that move materialises, Arsenal could be tempted to raid Zenit for the second time in six months.

Arshavin has been a revelation since his move to London, the highlight being his four-goal haul against Liverpool at Anfield last month. If he could link up with Pogrebnyak again, the pairing could be a handful for Premier League defences next season.
