Agent backtracks over Tottenham's Pavlyuchenko comments

Roman Pavlyuchenko's agent claims quotes attributed to him by the Daily Mirror were taken out of context. The story claimed Oleg Artemov said that his client was keen to secure a move away from Tottenham this summer.

"I was astonished to read the outcry on the internet as a result of the alleged interview I gave to the Daily Mirror," he told Sport Express.

"In fact, it was loose translation of my comments to the newspaper Izvestia and the words were taken out of context."

Artemov admits that Pavlyuchenko is still attracting interest from afar, but is adamant that no move is on the cards.

"Roma and Stuttgart have made some early steps towards the signing, but there have been no specific offers or negotiations as yet," he added.

"Besides, Roman wants to play in London and is looking to prove that he can be an asset for Tottenham."
