At 7 after completing his footballer career, Andrey Arshavin, now 44, is unrecognizable.
Former Russian international with 75 matches and 17 goals for the national team of his country, Arshavin is known especially for the periods spent at Zenit St. Petersburg, respectively Arsenal London. Of notoriety is the match between “Tunari” and Liverpool in April 2009-the Russian scored all the goals of his team in a spectacular 4-4!
At 7 years after putting his boots in the nail, Arshavin looks completely different. Now with glasses and a discreet look, he has raged on social networks with a recent appearance.

It's not the first time Arshavin enters the public attention through the after-retreat look. In December 2023, he was equipped with eyeglasses and a cap and circulated “undercover” by the London subway, heading to Tottenham's stadium to see it at work against another London team, Fulham.
