Arsenal midfielder Andrey Arshavin insists that his loan move to Zenit St Petersburg is the right decision for his career.

Andrey Arshavin has insisted that his February loan move to Zennit St Petersburg was the right decision.

The Arsenal midfielder made the temporary switch back to his former club following a limited number of appearances for the Gunners this season.

"Without a doubt it was the right decision," he told Sport Express.

"There are many reasons why. First of all, I am now playing, and that is paramount for any player as training is no substitute for matches.

"Second, I have returned to my hometown. Third, Zenit have done everything to make me feel comfortable and my thoughts are now only focused on football."

Arshavin moved to the Emirates Stadium in 2009 for around £15m.
