Arshavin, meanwhile, said that he is extremely delighted to be back in Russia, although he did not comment on whether he would like to make the move permanent in the summer.

“The atmosphere in the stands of England and Russia is noticeably different. For example, they are not fond of carrying out a fire-show that we have. The fans give you lot disrespect. So the racist activities must be stopped here in Russia. With regards to the situation with Emenike, the player did a wonderful job to control himself despite the situation,” Arshavin told the betfair football tips website.
