Former Russia forward Andrey Arshavin has said there was no hazing at Arsenal during his time with the London club, describing the dressing room as “a kindergarten”.
Arshavin played for Arsenal from 2009 to 2013 after joining from Zenit. The most memorable moment of his spell came when he scored four goals against Liverpool in a Premier League match at Anfield.
The 43-year-old also represented Kuban and Kairat during his professional career. He made 74 appearances for Russia, scoring 17 goals.
