The woman behind Hleb’s resurgence

By Aries

Alexander Hleb’s performances this season have been an absolute revelation. His fantastic skills and energetic commitment have been one of the most important reasons why Arsenal are top of the League.

This wasn’t the case last season where his form was at the lowest ebb since he came to the club with a lot of fans voicing their dismay at his inept performances.

“Behind every successful man there is a woman”. And it seems that this saying is being proved true in Alexander’s case.

Her name is Anastasia Kosenkova (Nastya) and sings for the pop group “Topless”


Hleb said: “My wedding will be in the summer. For a long time I’ve been looking for the girl of my dreams and I have finally found her. Nastya is a very nice and pure person.”

His mother should be pleased because at the time of his move to Arsenal she said:

"He doesn't have a girlfriend - he's so obsessed with his career that he has no time. I hope he meets someone nice soon."

Apparently Nastya fell in love with Hleb after watching him on TV.

“I thought: ‘What a Teddy-boy!’” she said.

And what a beauty she is! Well on you Alex.

Can you please score against Spurs on Saturday?
