The former Gunners playmaker has decided to hang up his boots at the age of 37 in the coming weeks after a rollercoaster career
Andrey Arshavin, one of the greatest and most enigmatic footballers Russia has ever produced, has announced that he will retire at the end of the season.
The 37-year-old, who currently plies his trade in Kazakhstan for FC Kairat, indicated that the country’s cup final on November 24 would be his last game of football – one last chance to add to the lengthy list of honours he has accumulated over his storied career.
