Newcastle United Football Club have entered the race for Andrei Arshavin
The 26-year-old Zenit St Petersburg midfielder has revealed an ambition to play in England, with Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur linked with the Russian skipper earlier this month.
"Of course I want to play in England," he said.
It is now believed that Kevin Keegan has entered the race for Arshavin, and is willing to pay around £7million to take him to St James Park during the winter transfer window.
