Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala will step up their interest in Andrey Arshavin by approaching Arsenal over the player's availability this week.
Playmaker Arshavin has had a mixed time in England since his move from Zenit in 2009.
The highlight of his three year stay at Arsenal would undoubtedly be his four-goal haul in their 4-4 draw with Liverpool towards the end of the 2008/09 season.
But Arshavin was well short of his best form last season and failed to nail down a regular starting spot.
Anzhi are now keen on offering him a route back to Russia, with Suleyman Kerimov, the club's billionaire owner, eager to add more big-name signings to the team having signed Roberto Carlos earlier this year.
According to sources in Russia, Kerimov is ready to sanction a move for Arshavin and Anzhi are keen on approaching Arsenal to set up talks.
