Andrey Arshavin is reportedly close to extending his current contract at Arsenal by another year. The diminutive Russian joined the Gunners in January 2009 from Russian club Zenit for an estimated £ 15 million. The Russian has scored 18 times for the North Londoners, including all four goals in Anfield triller. The extension will see Arshavin stay at the club until 2013.

In other Arsenal related news, William Gallas and Mikael Sylvestre are expected to leave the club. “At the moment none of them have signed again for us,” Arsene Wenger told Arsenal TV Online. “At the moment there is nothing special to say about that. I believe that Gallas and Silvestre will sign somewhere else. Campbell is still in no-man’s land at the moment.”
