Arsenal star Arshavin big fan of Man Utd target Akinfeev

Arsenal star Andrey Arshavin rates CSKA Moscow goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev as the next great No1.

The Russia international has been linked with Manchester United this season.

"From all of the modern-day goalkeepers I've seen, I liked the Dutchman (Hans) van Breukelen - the 1988 European Championship winner," said Arshavin when asked to name his favourite keeper.

"When (Juventus keeper Gigi) Buffon retires, the best goalkeeper will be Igor Akinfeev."
