Arsenal hero Arshavin: Plenty of Russian talent capable of playing in Premier League

Arsenal hero Andrey Arshavin can see Alekansdr Golovin playing in the Premier League.

The AS Monaco attacker has long been linked with a move to England.

Asked to nominate any Russian players capable of playing in England, Arshavin told Sport-Express: "Golovin - one hundred percent! He's in his prime now.

"I think Zakharyan and Pinyaev have good chances. Talented guys with great potential.

"If Kuzyaev were five years younger, he would have named him too. But Daler is already 31, at this age it is difficult to count on an invitation from a top Premier League club."
