Arshavin admits he would be interested in joining Newcastle, should Sam Allardyce come calling.

The problem, though, will Sam be in the job in January?

The 26-year-old was part of the Zenit St Petersburg team which lost to Everton on Wednesday night, a game which could prove to be his final appearance for his home-town club.

Arshavin concedes that he is flattered by talk of Newcastle's interest.

Arshavin: "Of course I would like to play in England.

"In Russia as well as England they are talking about Newcastle being interested in me and there has been no concrete offer.

"In principle if they made an offer I would be interested."
