Andrey arrived at Emirates Stadium in one of the 2008/09 season’s most protracted transfer sagas. He was definitely worth the wait.
The Russian playmaker proved almost instantly that he is a world-class talent who can make a big difference to this Arsenal side.
He scored an awesome foursome at Anfield during his debut season and showed his love for the big stage with an unforgettable winner against Barcelona in the Champions League last term.
Andrey’s vision, technical ability and eye for goal give Arsenal an extra dimension and his versatility is another big plus. He played on flank last season but can also play through the centre, as he does when captaining his country.
Andrey is a 'non-homegrown' player in Arsenal's official 2011/12 Premier League squad.
