Russian striker Roman Pavlyuchenko may leave Tottenham Hotspur during winter transfer window if he continues to wear out the seat of his trousers in the London club, says the player’s agent Oleg Artemov.
Russian Premier League side Zenit Saint Petersburg appears to be the number one contender to purchase the forward at the moment.
“We are aware of Zenit’s interest. They wanted to sign Roman in summer. I think we’ll come back to negotiations this possibility in winter,” Oleg Artemov said.
But the agent added that he’s also working on some other options, as his client wants to stay in European football.
”Maybe we’ll change the country. There are several clubs, in which Roman is interested,” he said.
Reports in the Italian media, suggested that Serie A side Roma was interested in the services of the Russian international in summer.
Roman Pavlyuchenko joined the London side from Spartak Moscow for ₤14 million, after a successful performance at Euro 2008, where he scored three goals and reached the semis together with his teammates.
The striker scored five goals in the Premier League and nine goals in the Cups in his first season n England, impressing the fans, who nicknamed him ‘Super-Pav’.
But things haven’t been super for the Russian in recent months. He’s played just three games this season, scoring only once against a lower division side in the cup.
