Russia playmaker Andrei Arshavin is desperate to secure a move to Spain for next season by continuing to impress at the European Championships.

The 27-year-old has helped his country reach the semi-finals of Euro 2008, impressing against both Sweden and the Netherlands after missing the opening two games of the tournament due to suspension.

That form has alerted a number of top clubs across Europe, with Arshavin keen for a new challenge after spending the whole of his career to date with Zenit St Petersburg.

He told AS: "Perhaps the time has come, yes. I know that I have offers from England and Germany, but what I really want is to play in the Primera Liga.

"It's the championship that I have always followed and I like how football is played there. But for now, I have no offers from Spain."

Russian Football Federation president, Vitaly Butko, had earlier admitted that Arshavin has his heart set on a move to Barcelona.

He told the Spanish media: "Andrei has a dream to play for Barcelona. It is, together with the Russian national team, his favourite team.

"He could easily play and show all his quality at Barcelona. Andrei doesn't have less quality than players like Deco."
