Roman Pavlyuchenko's agent has declared that he
is looking for a new club for the Tottenham striker.
The Russia international moved to White Hart Lane last summer
but only showed glimpses of his best form and struggled to stay in
the side under Harry Redknapp.
With Jermain Defoe and Robbie Keane returning to Spurs and more
new arrivals expected during the summer, Pavlyuchenko has been
tipped to leave the club.
And his representative Oleg Artemov has now announced that he is
looking at other options.
"I am busy with the search for a new club for Roman," Artemov
said in the Daily Mirror.
Pavlyuchenko made a big-money switch from Spartak Moscow 12
months ago and Artemov accepts that it will take a considerable
offer for Tottenham to part with the 27-year-old.
Stuttgart are considering a swoop for
Pavlyuchenko but Artemov concedes there have been no formal
discussions as yet.
He explained: "Earlier this week I received a phone call from
the Stuttgart manager who officially confirmed their interest in
Pavlyuchenko.
"But it is still too early to begin intensive negotiations. A
lot is going to depend on the player's opinion and that of
Tottenham.
"What I know for sure is that Tottenham are going to lose money
and sell Pavlyuchenko just anywhere for any money.
"I talked to (Spurs chairman) Daniel Levy. He told me that he
doesn't think Roman has become cheaper now.
"Forwards are always in short supply in football and their value
shouldn't drop even in the credit crunch times."
