Arsène Wenger believes Andrei Arshavin can establish himself as "an all-time great" by guiding Arsenal to glory.
The 28-year-old turned his former club into UEFA Cup winners and Wenger believes he can do the same for the Gunners.
The Gunner boss said: "I love Arshavin because he has things that are just down to him.
"He is an intelligent player and he looks like he is a shrewd street player because he creates something always in unexpected situations.
"He has a big challenge in front of him. He made St Petersburg win and, if he makes Arsenal win, he'll become an all-time great.
"That's the real challenge he faces and I am convinced he has all the potential to do it. He's a leader and a character.
"He has something specific to him that he uses well - a low centre of gravity, great pace and tricky dribble.
"He uses all that he has in the locker in an intelligent way - and don't forget he is a winner as well."
