Quincy relishing Spartak chance
Quincy Owusu-Abeyie has admitted the arrival of Emmanuel Adebayor and Theo Walcott prompted his Arsenal exit.
The Dutch teenager joined Spartak Moscow on transfer deadline day and hopes the move to Russia will allow him more first-team football.
The 19-year-old Holland Under-21 forward told the Sport-Express: "I'm a young player and I need serious playing time at a high level. Spartak have a chance to play in the Champions League next season. I understood that I needed to change my situation and I've joined a good team.
"Everything has been decided for about a week. Many European clubs were interested in me but Arsenal had refused all the offers.
"But the situation changed a week ago. Arsenal have signed two players who can play at my position - (Emmanuel) Adebayor and (Theo) Walcott. After that my move became possible and Spartak have made an offer quicker than the others."
Spartak sporting director Vladimir Fedotov told the same paper: "I saw Owusu-Abeyie at the Youth World Cup last summer. He was one of the best players at that tournament. He is a very quick player with good dribbling."
