Spurs closing in on Russian striker

Spurs closing in on Russian striker

27/08/2008 12:03 PM

Russian striker Roman Pavlyuchenko claimed he was on his way to Tottenham after insisting a verbal agreement had been reached between the north Londoners and his club Spartak Moscow.

The 26-year-old, who impressed in Russia's run to the semi-finals of Euro 2008 over the summer, has told Russian journalists that he will not feature in Spartak's Champions League third-round qualifier against Dynamo Kiev and is in the process of obtaining a visa to allow him to fly to England and agree terms with Juande Ramos' men.

The move is understood to be close to completion, although Pavlyuchenko's arrival would have no impact either way on Dimitar Berbatov's future at White Hart Lane.

Spurs are short on strikers even if the Bulgarian does not complete a move to Manchester United before the transfer window closes on Monday.
