Tottenham striker Roman Pavlyuchenko tells agent to find him new club

Tottenham striker Roman Pavlyuchenko has ordered his agent to find him a new club.

The 27-year-old marksman has grown tired of seeing boss Harry Redknapp targeting replacements after claiming he received personal assurances he featured in the manager's plans for next season.

Mirror Sport revealed in December that Redknapp was desperately trying to offload Pavlyuchenko, who was signed last summer by Juande Ramos for £14million.

His agent Oleg Artemov said last night: "I am busy with the search for a new club for Roman."

Roma and Stuttgart are both interested in taking Pavlyuchenko off Tottenham's hands.

Artemov added: "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 not going to lose money and sell Pavlyuchenko just anywhere and for any money.

"I talked to Daniel Levy. He told me that he doesn't think that 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."

Real Madrid's Dutch striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, Bayern Munich's Luca Toni and Blackburn's Roque Santa Cruz have all been linked with Spurs who are preparing to offload Darren Bent to Sunderland for £12m.
