EPL: Andrey Arshavin, Arsenal v Fulham (PA)

Arshavin Will Be Arsenal's Difference-Maker For Tottenham
Game - Arsene Wenger
Russian recruit ready to roll against Spurs.
Arsenal's attacking armoury will be too much for Tottenham Hotspur, according
to Arsene Wenger, who believes Andrey Arshavin will play a key role in
the north London derby - scheduled for kick-off on Saturday lunchtime.
Tottenham made no secret of their pursuit of Arshavin while the forward
donned Zenit St Petersburg colours and was angling for a move to one of
Europe's bigger leagues. However, Wenger believes Arshavin will show Harry
Redknapp and Spurs exactly what they missed out on when he takes to the
Ashburton Grove pitch.
"Arshavin can change any game, anywhere at any moment so I believe
he will have a great game tomorrow," Wenger explained to the Daily
Mail.
"He is a player I love, not only because he is talented but because
he is efficient. I am confident he will have a big impact on the game
tomorrow."
Wenger also dismissed the recent comments made by former spearheading
striker Emmanuel Adebayor; the Togo international recently suggested that
should Arsenal fail to secure Champions League football, then they can
wave goodbye to captain Cesc Fabregas.
"Frankly, I'm not really bothered about what he says."
