Tottenham Hotspurs Russian striker Roman Pavlyuchenko is ready to listen to offers after slipping down the pecking order at Tottenham as he is fearful of losing his Russia place.
Pavlyuchenko is set to feature in Spurs’ Carling Cup clash at Doncaster on Wednesday night but is already eyeing a move.
The 27-year-old, who arrived at White Hart Lane a year ago for £13.8million, scored 14 goals in his rookie season in the Premier League but is behind Jermain Defoe and Robbie Keane in Harry Redknapp’s pecking order, with Peter Crouch’s arrival intensifying competition.
So far this season Pavlyuchenko’s only involvement has come in a minute-long appearance off the bench against Liverpool.
“No footballer likes being on the bench game after game,” Pavlyuchenko told Sport Express in Russia. “I could lose my place in the Russia squad ahead of the 2010 World Cup.
“I’m ready now to listen to offers from other clubs.”
Italian side Roma have monitored Pavlyuchenko and there is thought to be interest in Germany and from his former club Spartak Moscow.
