Arshavin haunting Lobnya man!

Andrey Arshavin spent a fair amount of his career as little more than listless spectre, but it would appear he has now gone and made the full jump into the spirit world. According to a report in The Moscow Times, police in the Russian capital are investigating a reported sighting of the ghost of Arshavin. To be clear: Arshavin is not dead. Far from it. Aged 37, the former Russian Footballer of the Year made the headlines recently when he was filmed leaving a St Petersburg strip club on the back of a horse. However, one man from the Moscow suburb of Lobnya is claiming to have witnessed the ex-Gunner pootling about in his living room. He's gone as far as contacting Russian police regarding the matter, claiming an apparition "closely resembling [Arshavin] passes through his walls". Worse still, the unnamed man alleges that the ghost has been attacking him and stealing his money. Quite what the police can do to combat a nefarious ghost thief is unclear. But if you can't rely on the cops over this sort of thing then who exactly are you gonna call?
