Just when Zenit St Petersburg have officially declared Andrei Arshavin's protracted move to Tottenham dead, coach Dick Advocaat has revealed he still expects his star man to head to White Hart Lane.
The Russia playmaker's future has been one of the sagas of the summer and Advocaat's latest comments have only reopened the debate about where Arshavin will be playing next season.
The player's first choice was to move to Barcelona, and they continue to lurk in the background, but Juande Ramos is still eyeing a replacement for Robbie Keane.
Spurs were unwilling to meet Zenit's asking price but his coach has even hinted he will leave him out of next week's European Super Cup clash with Manchester United because he believes a move will go through.
"Last year we sold Martin Skrtel to Liverpool for £10 million and now, probably, Arshavin will go to Spurs," stated Advocaat.
However, the forward's agent believes Spurs have cooled their interest in one of their main targets.
