Roman Pavlyuchenko's agent has declared that he is looking for a new club for the Tottenham striker.

The Russia international moved to White Hart Lane last summer but only showed glimpses of his best form and struggled to stay in the side under Harry Redknapp.

With Jermain Defoe and Robbie Keane returning to Spurs and more new arrivals expected during the summer, Pavlyuchenko has been tipped to leave the club.

And his representative Oleg Artemov has now announced that he is looking at other options.

"I am busy with the search for a new club for Roman," Artemov said in the Daily Mirror.

Pavlyuchenko made a big-money switch from Spartak Moscow 12 months ago and Artemov accepts that it will take a considerable offer for Tottenham to part with the 27-year-old.

Stuttgart interest

Stuttgart are considering a swoop for Pavlyuchenko but Artemov concedes there have been no formal discussions as yet.

He explained: "Earlier this week I received a phone call from the Stuttgart manager who officially confirmed their interest in Pavlyuchenko.

"But it is still too early to begin intensive negotiations. A lot is going to depend on the player's opinion and that of Tottenham.

"What I know for sure is that Tottenham are going to lose money and sell Pavlyuchenko just anywhere for any money.

"I talked to (Spurs chairman) Daniel Levy. He told me that he doesn't think Roman has become cheaper now.

"Forwards are always in short supply in football and their value shouldn't drop even in the credit crunch times."
