Agent: Pavlyuchenko overpriced

Roman Pavlyuchenko's agent says Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is pricing the striker out of a potential move away from the club.

The 30-year-old striker has scored only once in five Premier League appearances for Spurs this season, with the likes of Emmanuel Adebayor and Jermain Defoe being preferred by Harry Redknapp.

Despite saying in December he did not want to lose any of his strikers in the transfer window, the Spurs boss has seen Pavlyuchenko linked with a number of clubs including Lokomotiv Moscow and Anzhi Makhachkala.

But the player's representative, Oleg Artemov, said he and Levy are yet to reach an agreement over the player's resale value.

"We can't agree about the price with Mr Levy," Artemov told The Sunday Mirror.

"He values Pavlyuchenko according to his own gauge. This is by how much the club spent, his goals and he also wants some profit on him."

"I don't really know how he's counting."

Pavlyuchenko moved to north London from Spartak Moscow in 2008 for 13.8 million pounds ($AU 20.5 million) but has failed to secure regular first-team football at White Hart Lane.
