His agent Oleg Artemov told Russian newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta: ‘Roman will not return to Spartak.

‘Whatever the rumour, he has tasted European football and only wants to play in on of the major leagues.’

Pavlychenko said: ‘I am flying back to London on July 7 because Tottenham’s first training session after the vacations is a day later.
