Andrey Arshavin’s stunning wife Alisa ‘ready to forgive’ former Arsenal star for cheating on her
Russian couple had only been married for a year before stunning brunette Alisa discovered his infidelities
ANDREY ARSHAVIN'S wife has forgiven the ex-Arsenal winger after he played away from home.
The Russia forward married beautiful brunette Alisa in September 2016 but was on the brink of divorce a year later after he cheated on her.
Alisa, 35, recently revealed she had ditched him, telling Russian magazine Starhit: "Him cheating was only one of the reasons that pushed me to make such decision."
But the stunning Russian says that she is now prepared to give Arshavin "one last chance".
Mrs Arshavina said she had been won over by her husband's desire to save their family and she wanted to show her appreciation by starting over with a clean slate.
She said: "This is a very powerful decision from his side, especially taking into consideration how popular he is.
"We have a family, we feel good together, I feel good with him. I want, I am ready to give him one more chance."
Mrs Arshavina previously insisted that she was the one to call time on the relationship - even though most people had thought the opposite.

She said: "Why would the entire country think that he would leave me with three children?
"That I am a completely unappreciated woman? I have an acquaintance that got re-married having four kids."
Mrs Arshavina had said she had been forced to end the marriage for the sake of her work and family life.
Arshavin divorced his first wife, Julia Baranovskaya, in 2013. They were married for nine years and have three children.
The striker began his career at Zenit Saint Petersburg where he won numerous trophies and was named Russian Footballer of the Year.
He became Arsenal's record signing at £15million after catching manager Arsene Wenger's eye as a member of the Russian team that reached the semi-finals at Euro 2008.
Arshavin went on to make 105 appearances for Arsenal between 2009-13.
