Pavlyuchenko linked to January Roma move

Roman Pavlyuchenko's agent has suggested the Tottenham Hotspur striker is being lined up for a January move to AS Roma.

The £13million Russia striker has found himself out of the first-team picture at White Hart Lane this season and has often hinted that he is unsettled and would be open to a move away.

Robbie Keane, Jermain Defoe or Peter Crouch are all ahead of the former Spartak Moscow striker in the current pecking order and agent Oliver Wendt has dropped a strong hint that Roma are interested in signing his client.

"It is true that yesterday (Roma director) Daniele Prade was in London to better understand the situation of Pavlyuchenko, but we don't know the real intentions (of Roma)," he explained.

"However, the player will surely leave Tottenham as he wanted to leave them this summer.

"It is a feasible piece of business with Roma, but we need to see the needs of the two clubs in question.

"Roman would be willing to transfer to the Italian capital."
