Roman wants to leave London and he wants to go to Roma. If Tottenham allow him to go, Roman could be a Roma player."[LNB]However, Spartak are still very much in the frame, as are city rivals Lokomotiv Moscow, who have money to spend following the £10m sale of Diniyar Bilyaletdinov to Everton.[LNB]Lokomotiv president Nikolay Naumov said: "Of course we are interested in players like Roman, but we have not yet entered transfer negotiations."[LNB][LNB]
