Russia striker Roman Pavlyuchenko is on his way out of Tottenham Hotspur, according to his agent.

Oleg Artemov claims he is actively searching for a new club for the £14million striker, who has struggled to hold down a starting place during his one season at White Hart Lane.

Pavlyuchenko scored just five Premier League goals last season after slipping behind the returning Jermain Defoe and Robbie Keane in the pecking order.

"I am busy with the search for a new club for Roman," claimed Artemov.

"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 going to lose money and sell Pavlyuchenko just anywhere for any money.

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