Arshavin admits: I am a Barca fan
Written by Mark Brus on Sunday, June 6, 2010
Andrey Arshavin has admitted on his personal website that he has supported Spanish club FC Barcelona since his childhood.
The Russian has been at Arsenal for a year and a half, but has previously admitted to being frustrated at the club's lack of silverware.
He has stated in the last few months that last season for Arsenal was 'pitiful' and that it would be a dream for him to play for Barcelona.
Talking to his personal website, the 28-year-old now claims that although he is a Barca fan, he is happy at Arsenal, and was delighted to have the opportunity to join the club.
He said: "As a child I supported Barcelona, I do not deny that. Actually I continue to root for Barca in the Spanish Championship.
"As for the English Championship, I've always liked Arsenal, so when I had an opportunity to join this club, I happily agreed.
Arshavin went on to say that he could not imagine himself representing another team from England.
He added: "So I've never seen myself as a player of any other English club. Again, I am a Gunner, and I am satisfied with everything."
