Football FanCast guest columnist Luke Steele looks at the qualities of Andrei Arshavin and feels his talents will be most welcomed in the Premier League, should someone take a chance on him.

There is absolutely no question that Andrei Arshavin is one of the finest talents in the game. Blessed with two good feet, wonderful balance and is simply lethal in front of goal - he is the sole reason that Russia are in the quarter finals this weekend and doesn't Guus Hiddink know it.

It was a wonderful cameo from a player who returned to the Russian line-up and his performance will certainly have struck fear into Marco van Basten. Arshavin is simply the catalyst of Hiddink's team, their talisman, and when he plays well so do Russia therefore the Dutch, who have made easy work of the tournament, will have to be on their guard.

Of course last night's performance was not of any great surprise, as the player has reputation that goes before him. As you will see below, he has been in fantastic form for Zenit St Petersburg in the last two seasons; however according to reports it is likely to be his last in Russia and you can't help feel that there will be no shortage of offers.

I know it is very much clichéd, but I cannot help feel that Arshavin will be well suited to the Premier League. He possesses all the necessary attributes, with good strength, tenacious with plenty of guile and reminds me very much, of a cross between a Dennis Bergkamp and Robbie Keane.

As mentioned there is a widespread belief in Russia that the player has had his time there and a move to Western Europe beckons for the forward. There will be many clubs in the reckoning and I was interested to see the reports in the Daily Mirror today that Arsenal are the latest team who are supposedly monitoring the situation closely.

Both Everton and Spurs have been linked with him recent weeks and you certainly will fail to see that Arshavin would not be a welcome addition at either clubs. Everton are in desperate need of a foil that can come in alongside or behind the impressive Yakubu, while Spurs, who have seemingly been rumoured with every striker in Europe, are in the market for a couple of forwards as speculation mounts over the future of Dimitar Berbatov.

So will one of English football's great bastions take a chance on the Russian and what will be the best move for the player?
