Lokomotiv prepare fresh bid for Pav
okomotiv Moscow are ready to make a fresh attempt to sign Roman Pavlyuchenko this summer - but the striker wants to stay at Tottenham.[LNB] Pavlyuchenko was a target for Lokomotiv earlier this year before establishing himself as an important part of Spurs' team en route to qualification for the Champions League.[LNB]The Russia international had previously been considering a move away from White Hart Lane, but has recently stated that he has 'dropped all ideas' about leaving.[LNB]A renewed approach from Lokomotiv is still likely to be forthcoming after the club's president Nikolai Naumov outlined the intent to improve the team's striking options.[LNB]"In the coming days we will once again enter into negotiations about Pavlyuchenko," Naumov told the Russian media. "We need attacking players, especially a forward."[LNB]Pavlyuchenko's agent Oleg Artemov expects Lokomotiv to make a bid for the forward, but insists the former Spartak Moscow wants to stay at Spurs.[LNB]Artemov said: "Having the coach's trust, the player's performance and Tottenham's qualification for the Champions League are three major factors why Pavlyuchenko has remained in England.[LNB]"Now we can say with confidence that he has adapted to the championship.[LNB]"Roman is ready to fulfil his contract. But so say there will be no more negotiations would be categorical and incorrect.[LNB]"Lokomotiv, judging by the words of (coach Yuri) Semin and Naumov are going to sign a strong forward this summer - and will certainly not be averse to resuming negotiations on the transfer of Pavlyuchenko."
