RUSSIA playmaker Andrei Arshavin is waiting for the "final decision" over his move from Zenit St Petersburg to Arsenal.
Both clubs have been in discussions over the 27-year-old but no announcement has been made.
"I'm waiting for a final decision," Arshavin told Russian newspaper Sport Express.
"The talks don't depend on me. I haven't been in touch with the club management, so I haven't heard a clear 'yes' or 'no' yet."
Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel has backed Arshavin, his former Zenit team-mate, to be a success in England.
"Andrei has spent many years in Zenit and I want him to join a big European club and show what he is worth," said Skrtel, who also suggested Arshavin would like to play in Spain.
"He played wonderfully at Euro 2008 and I am sure he can continue playing on the same level as in the summer."
