Spurs complete Pavlyuchenko signing
Tottenham Hotspur have announced on their official website the signing of Russian striker Roman Pavyluchenko.
Tottenham Hotspur have long been linked with a move for a Russian forward, but the name on most people's lips was Zenit St Petersburg's Andrei Arshavin.
With the much speculated departure of Dimitar Berbatov, it was clear that Spurs' transfer policy may have switched to recruiting more of an out-and-out striker, rather than a player that would link the midfield with the attack.
Both players hit the headlines over the summer with Russia's performances in the European Championship. Pavyluchenko, 26, has been capped 22 times by his country and has netted on nine occasions.
His goals to games ratio for Spartak Moscow has been sound, scoring at least one goal every two games in domestic competitions in Russia.
A statement from the club's official website read: "We are delighted to announce that we have reached agreement with Spartak Moscow for the transfer of Roman Pavlyuchenko to the Club."
Tottenham Hotspur were reportedly keen to thrash out the deal before the weekend so that Pavyluchenko would be registered in time to play in the London derby on Sunday against Chelsea.
