Roman Pavlyuchenko says he made the right decision to leave Spurs and join Lokomotiv Moscow but he enjoyed his time in London.
The Russian striker left at the end of last week to go back to Russia after a fee, reported to be around £8m, was agreed between the two clubs and he maintains he is a better player for his experience at White Hart Lane.
"I was playing in a strong league, I enjoyed the game and I scored some important goals," Pavlyuchenko told ITAR-TASS.
"During the time I spent there, I developed as a footballer and I became more professional.
"I think all the decisions I have made during my career have been right. My decision to sign for Lokomotiv is not an exception.
"I could've stayed at Tottenham and dealt with meaningless things. My desire is to play. I decided, together with my family, that this is the best way.
"Lokomotiv are a top team and I want to help to reach the serious goals. This season it's a reality to win the Russian title."
