Roman Pavlyuchenko hints at Tottenham Hotspur exit

Tottenham Hotspur striker Roman Pavlyuchenko has reiterated his desire to leave White Hart Lane in January due to a lack of first-team football.

The Russia international hinted at a potential departure earlier this month after failing to keep his spot in Harry Redknapp's starting lineup.

"I don't believe I can fight my way into the Tottenham starting lineup," said Pavlyuchenko. "Players can feel what the manager thinks about them, and I know that the manager doesn't count on me these days.

"I don't know whether Redknapp is telling the truth when he says he doesn't want to lose me. I guess he is not telling the truth.

"Something must change. I must play in order not to miss Euro 2012. I don't know whether the club will execute that option [to sell me], but a good offer would definitely be considered."

The 29-year-old, who joined Spurs from Spartak Moscow three years ago, has only featured for the London club twice after coming off the substitutes' bench this season.
