Ian Herbert: Russian’s minimalist touch wreaks maximum damage

Tottenham gave up on buying Andrei Arshavin in the end and it was only in the depths of January, that Arsène Wenger so obviously bereft of striking options, dispensed with his disinclination to spend big and signed the man. You sensed he might somehow not live up to that “Russian Pele” tag he earned after his displays had brought him to international recognition at Euro 2008.
