Arshavin named Arsenal Player of the Month

Andrey Arshavin has been named Arsenal's best player for a second month in a row, as the Russian striker has been going from strength to strength for the gunners in the English Premier League, arsenal.com reports.

The previously unsung Russian striker secured the vote by a landslide after a stellar run in April.

He’s got 70.4 per cent of fans votes, while Cesc Fabregas placed second with just 9.3 per cent.

Arshavin's finest hour came in the Liverpool match, when he scored a staggering four goals.

He was also on target against Wigan, while notching up assists against Middlesbrough and – most recently – against Portsmouth.

Gunners fan Scott Gammon from Rotherham has won the chance to present Andrey Arshavin with his award before one of Arsenal’s home games this month.

"He has given a fresh look to the Arsenal. With great vision, he can read the game like no other. His finishing and general contribution to the team has been unbelievable seeing that he is only just match fit. I believe he is already a fans' favorite and is a legend in the making. Well done Wenger," he said.
