Pavel Pogrebnyak would like to see fellow countryman Andrey Arshavin secure a January switch from Arsenal to Reading.
Gloomy
Meanwhile, Pogrebnyak insists he has no regrets at having snubbed the opportunity to remain at Fulham over the summer in favour of joining a fight for survival at the Madejski Stadium.
"My former team Fulham are doing better than Reading at the moment, but I wouldn't say that I am sorry I left them," he added.
"I would say that I feel gloomy. I make no secret of the fact that it was difficult for me to leave Martin Jol's team.
"I had the desire to stay, but this is football and I signed for another team. I am still in touch with Jol and he is a strong coach."
