Arsenal midfielder Andrey Arshavin revealed he supported Barcelona as a child but how he has no intention of leaving Arsenal to join the Spanish giants.

Reports last month suggested that the Russian was considering leaving the North London Club to play for Barcelona next season but speaking to his official website, the 29-year old explained how he didn’t hesitate when he was offered the possibility to join the Gunners and how he is satisfied with everything at the club.

By his standards, the midfielder was very disappointing last season and seemed to suffer badly after his National side failed to qualify for this summer’s World Cup Finals.

Never shy to speak about his emotions, the Arsenal man did in fact admit last week how his season was nothing special, describing it as pitiful when speaking to The Sun and in a previous interview, he also explained how manager Arsene Wenger told the players before the summer break that trophies need to be won in the future.

Arshavin said:

As a child I supported Barcelona, I do not deny that. Actually I continue to root for Barca in the Spanish championship.

As for the English championship, I’ve always liked Arsenal, so when I had an opportunity to join this club, I happily agreed. So I’ve never seen myself as a player of any other English club. Again, I am a Gunner, and I am satisfied with everything.
