Andrey Kanchelskis: Arshavin is physically very weak

Former Manchester United and Russia forward Andrey Kanchelskis believes that Arsenal midfielder Andrey Arsahvin is a mediocre player with a weak physique.

«Of course Arshavin is an average player, would you say he is a top footballer like Nasri or Fabregas? And his four goals at Anfield don’t prove anything. I am convinced that the key quality for a big player is to play consistently not 45 or 60 minutes, but the whole game. He is physically weak, but he has some other qualities,» former Russia international told Sovetsky sport.
