Zenit St Petersburg coach Dick Advocaat has dropped a major hint that Tottenham Hotspur's hopes of signing Andrei Arshavin are fading by the day.

Advocaat was speaking after seeing his side win the European Super Cup by beating Manchester United 2-1 in Monaco.

ANDREI ARSHAVIN

Playmaker Arshavin came on as a half-time substitute for Alejandro Dominguez against the Red Devils, with Advocaat hinting that his star player was about to stay put.

He told reporters: "I should perhaps also have to explain why other players were not playing.

"You make a decision and that was that Dominguez played the first half and Arshavin the second. It's as simple as that.

"They (Tottenham) had several weeks of time to buy him and they did not offer �22million like everybody has been writing, but just 16million.

"I think that Arshavin costs more than 16million."
