Lokomotiv Moscow have confirmed they are lining up a fresh swoop for Tottenham striker Roman Pavlyuchenko in the summer.
Lokomotiv tried to sign the striker during the January transfer window but boss Harry Redknapp decided to keep hold and the striker has since had more chances to shine in the first team.
Pavlyuchenko has still set his heart on a return to Russia though and Lokomotiv president Nikolay Naumov says his club are favourites to do a deal in the summer.
"We have spoken to Roman about this. He still wants to return to Russia and if he does return, he will only come to our team," Naumov told the Daily Mail.
