Pavlychenko exit confirmed

by Setanta Staff , 03 February 2012 Striker exit confirmed

Roman Pavlyuchenko's exit from Tottenham is now official after the striker completed the formalities on his move to Lokomotiv Moscow.


The Russian international is returning home on a three-and-a-half-year deal with Lokomotiv for a fee thought to be in the region of £8m.

Pavlyuchenko joined Spurs from Spartak Moscow in 2008 for a reported £14m but struggled to hold down a regular starting berth during his time at the club scoring 20 goals in 78 appearances.

He was desperate to secure a move away from White Hart Lane as the 30-year-old feared missing out on a place in the Russian national squad for this summer's European Championships.

"Russia striker Roman Pavlyuchenko has signed a contract with the Lokomotiv," read a statement on official club website fclm.ru.

"The agreement with the striker is for three and a half years."
