WEALTHY footie ace Andrey Arshavin saves McDonald’s discount vouchers to “treat” his family to cheap grub, it emerged yesterday.
The £80,000-a-week Arsenal forward regularly snubs trendy celeb hotspots such as The Ivy.
Instead, the Russian star scrimps together £1.99 meal deal tokens when he takes his missus and their three kids to their local McDonald’s in London’s posh Hampstead.
One stunned worker said: “None of us can believe it when we see Andrey in here with his family.
“He’s a regular, so collects the £1.99 meal deal vouchers to cut down on the total when they’re in. He could easily afford to eat anywhere in town.
“But he says he loves the taste of our food and recognises it’s cheap for a full family.” The source added Andrey, 31, does his best to keep the Gunners’ nutritionist happy by opting for the “healthier” Filet-O-Fish.
But it’s almost 400 calories on its own and nearly 1,000 calories when he adds his fries and drink.
The vouchers are handed out in the street and at the eaterie.
Andrey was one of the Gunners’ most expensive signings at more than £15million from Zenit St Petersburg in 2009.
He was named on the bench for yesterday’s 3-3 home draw with Fulham.
