Advocaat left the coveted forward on the bench for the first half of Friday night's 2-1 UEFA Super Cup victory over Manchester United in Monaco, but he denied his choice had anything to do with speculation linking Arshavin with a transfer to Spurs, and insists a deal between the clubs is a long way from being struck.

Advocaat revealed there is a six million euros (£.4.8million) shortfall to be made up by the London club before they meet Zenit's £18million asking price, saying: "They (Tottenham) had several weeks of time to buy him and they did not offer 22 million like everybody has been writing but just 16 million. I think that Arshavin costs more than 16 million."
