New Arsenal star Arshavin admits to being homesick




Arsenal new boy Andrei Arshavin has admitted that the transition from St. Petersburg to London has been anything but easy for him.

After no small amount of haggling, Arsenal finally succeeded in bringing in the Russian sensation at the end of the winter window for a £16.5 million fee.

Although Arshavin has managed to fit in seamlessly on the field pretty much from the word 'go', the same can't be said about his life off it.

"It is very difficult for me, everything is unusual," Arshavin admitted to The Sunday Telegraph.

"Now I'm in a hotel. Next week I will move. I have to settle. Everything is difficult.

"I'm happy to be here in English football - it is the best league in the world. I am happy with my professional life, but I am unhappy in everyday life, it is difficult for me," he added glumly.

"I am alone for the first time in my life. I had never left St. Petersburg before."
