Milan striker Andriy Shevchenko believes that Arsenal is the ideal club for Andrei Arshavin.
Shevchenko, 32, endured a difficult two-year spell in The Premier League with Chelsea before returning to Italy in the summer.
And, speaking as Arshavin was presented with the 2008 Zvezda award, the Ukraine star said that he feels Arshavin is perfectly equipped to succeed in England under Arsene Wenger.
“It seems to me that Arshavin will achieve great success at Arsenal,” he told Sport Express.
"Arsenal are the only side in the English Premier League that always avoid playing the traditional English style of football.
“I wouldn’t say that I know Arshavin’s style intimately, but I think fast-paced football suits him perfectly.
"I would have been surprised if Arshavin had not established himself at Arsenal with ease because he was born to play at this club.
“To my mind, Andrei was right to move to Arsenal rather than Barcelona, especially taking into consideration the fact that Arsene Wenger had been watching his performances for a long time before bringing him in.
"The most important task for him now is to escape injuries. If he is lucky and avoids injury at the start of his career in England, everything should be all right for him.”
The Zvezda award is an annual competition given to the best player in CIS and Baltic countries.
