Roman Pavlyuchenko signs for Lokomotiv Moscow

Lokomotiv Moscow have completed the signing of Roman Pavlyuchenko from Tottenham Hotspur.

Pavlyuchenko has reportedly been keen to leave White Hart Lane after finding first-team opportunities difficult to come by this season.

Lokomotiv are believed to have paid in the region of £8m for Pavlyuchenko's sevices.

The Russian striker will return to his home country and his new club will begin their season in early March.

Pavlyuchenko cost Spurs £14m in 2008 after signing him from Spartak Moscow.

The 30-year-old has scored 42 goals during his time at Spurs.
