Russia international Roman Pavlyuchenko looks certain to be leaving Tottenham in January with Zenit St Petersburg his most likely destination.

The 27-year-old arrived at White Hart Lane last summer and has gone on to find the net 15 times in 39 appearances for the club.

However, he has dropped out of the first-team picture since Harry Redknapp was appointed manager and has failed to start a Premier League match so far this season.

"He does not intend to sit on the bench," said Pavlyuchenko's representative Oleg Artemov.

"We are aware of Zenit's interest. They wanted to sign Roman in the summer and I think we'll start negotiations again."

Pavlyuchenko was expected to leave north London in the summer but a proposed switch to Spartak Moscow failed to materialise.
