Alexander Hleb

ALEXANDER Hleb's agent will have once again infuriated Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger after claiming his client is still set to leave the Gunners this summer.

The 27-year-old Belarus international has been strongly linked with Inter Milan, but his representative Nikolai Shpilevski no final destination has been decided yet.

Shpilevski told Russian website sports.ru: "Alexander understands perfectly well that he plays for a great team, but the moment has come where he needs to make a choice.

"Hleb has been playing in London for three years now and isn't sure whether in the future he can show the level of talent that he is showing currently.

"I can only confirm that some of the world's biggest clubs are interested in him.

"In any case I can say simply that Alexander will not buy out the remaining part of his five-year contract for a fixed sum of his sale.

"Hleb is a gentleman and will not stoop to that level. Everything will be done properly.

"I am sure that the situation surrounding this issue will finally be resolved in the next 10 days."

Shpilevski added: "There are no problems with regard to his playing opportunities.

"Alexander is just tired of the noisy and chaotic life in the British capital and feels like living in calmer surroundings."

In a different interview with Belarus newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda, Shpilevski stressed: "If any clubs want to add Hleb to their ranks then they should hold talks with Arsenal.

"Nobody is hiding the fact that a player of Hleb's class is of interest to all teams, including Barcelona and Real (Madrid).

"But the subject of a transfer to Inter has been going round and round for over for a year now. It's a normal occurrence."
