Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp says he wants to keep Roman Pavlyuchenko at the club, having seen the striker net the only goal of the game in a 1-0 win over West Ham.

The 27-year-old Russia international has scored 14 goals in 32 appearances for Spurs since his arrival from Spartak Moscow and was recently linked with a move to Chelsea.

However, Redknapp believes that Pavlyuchenko can improve by staying at White Hart Lane, saying: "Of course, I want to keep all my best players.

"He's done okay to be fair. He scored some decent goals at home, but I feel he is capable of more because he is an excellent player.

"There is more adjusting to do, but technically he is a top-class player.

"Sometimes he gets brushed off too easily and has to work harder for the team."
