Anzhi midfielder Odil Akhmedov has welcomed interest from Arsenal.

Izvestia says the Gunners are offering ¤4 million for the Uzbekistan international.

Akhmedov is excited by the prospect of moving to Arsenal and confirmed: "It is true I have interest from the London club, Arsenal. Their scouts have watched me in every game.

"If I move there, it will not only be a success for me, but for all of Uzbek football.

"Of course, I am happy at Anzhi, but I'd like to try England or Spain.

Izvestia means 'news'. The other big newspaper used to be Pravda ('truth').

The old Soviet joke was that there was no news in the truth and no truth in the news.

Nothing's changed on that score...
