Roman Pavlyuchenko’s agent has denied saying that he was working to sell the Tottenham striker.
The Daily Mirror carried comments from Oleg Artemov on Saturday saying he ‘was busy with the search for a new club for Roman’ amid interest from Stuttgart and Roma.
However, Artemov says the remarks were taken out of context and insists the Russia international would be happy to stay at White Hart Lane.
“I was astonished to read the outcry on the internet as a result of the alleged interview I gave to The Daily Mirror,” he told Sport Express.
“In fact, it was a loose translation of my comments to the newspaper Izvestia and the words were taken out of context.
“I am looking at Roman’s options, but that is the regular, daily work of any agent – trying to get the best for the player.
“Roma and Stuttgart have made some early steps towards the signing, but there have been no specific offers or negotiations as yet.
“Besides, Roman wants to play in London and is looking to prove that he can be an asset for Tottenham.”
Pavlyuchenko is currently on holiday in the French Riviera and says he has not kept up to date with the speculation.
