Roman Pavlyuchenko has admitted his thoughts are already turning to the winter transfer window and a move away from Tottenham.

The Russian has struggled to make an impact this season, despite the club offloading Peter Crouch, and his lack of playing time is a source of frustration.

He has two and a half months to force his way into Harry Redknapp's plans, but is seemingly resigned to moving on.

"I do not have much playing practice at Tottenham, although I am in very good physical shape," he said in The Sun.

"I very much want to play football. That's why I need to start thinking now about moving clubs in the winter.

"I love Tottenham. The team is like my second family. But if nothing changes I will agree to any loan deal. In fact, to any deal which gives me the chance to play permanently."
