MOSCOW, August 25 (RIA Novosti) - Russian international Roman Pavlyuchenko is ready to quit Tottenham Hotspur to keep his international career alive, the forward has told Sport Express.
The 27-year-old striker has played less than two minutes in Tottenham's first three games of the 2009/10 season. The North London club are currently top of the Premier League after wins over Liverpool, Hull and West Ham.
"No footballer likes being on the bench game after game," Pavlyuchenko told the paper. "I could lose my place in the Russian squad ahead of the 2010 World Cup."
"I'm ready now to listen to offers from other clubs," Pavlyuchenko went on. "But I can't say anything concrete right now."
Italian side Roma and two unnamed German teams are reported to be interested in the services of the Russian, who scored 14 times for Tottenham in his debut season at the club, most of these goals coming in the Carling Cup. Pavlyuchenko's previous club, Spartak Moscow, are also said to be interested in having him back on loan as they press for their first league title since 2001.
Pavlyuchenko signed for Tottenham from Spartak Moscow for $28 million last August.
