    Last updated at 9:59 AM on 26th June 2008Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is hoping to lure Andrei Arshavin to the Premier League despite the Russia star setting his heart on a move to Barcelona.
    Arshavin has attracted the attention of Europe's leading clubs after shining at Euro 2008 and admitted this week it is his 'dream' to play for the Catalan giants.
    The 27-year-old is refusing to discuss his future until Russia's European Championship campaign is over but Zenit St Petersburg are already braced for his departure.

    And Wenger reckons the English game would be ideal for Arshavin.
    'He could be tempted by wanting to play in the best league, of course. And it could happen,' the Frenchman told The Sun.

    'Would you be surprised if it did? If you ask me if I think he will be in the Premier League, I would say yes because that's a prediction.'
    However, Arshavin said: 'I have supported Barcelona all my life. Barcelona are my dream. I never thought I would have a genuine chance to play for the club. Let's see how the situation unfolds.

    'For now I can't say anything for sure. At the moment I'm a player of team Russia and I'm only thinking about doing well in the semi-finals.'
