Andrei Sergeyevich Arshavin is a Russian international football forward who currently plays for Arsenal of the English Premier League.
The 2006 Russian footballer of the year is a versatile second striker who can also play as an attacking midfielder and winger. He gained international attention during his performance at the Euro 2008. His technical ability and diminutive stature have earned him the nickname of "The Russian Pelé".
On 21 April 2009, the 2006 Russian player of the year Andrei Sergeyevich Arshavin became one of the few players to score 4 goals in a match against Liverpool at Anfield, the match finishing 4-4. As a result it put a severe dent in Liverpools title hopes all but handing the title to Manchester United on a plate.
For this reason alone I feel Arshavin should be voted as the most entertaining Premier League in 2009.
