'Fed up' Roman seeks Spurs exit

'Fed up' Roman seeks Spurs exit

Tottenham striker Roman Pavlyuchenko insists he will look for an escape route from White Hart Lane in the next transfer window.

The 29-year-old is frustrated by not getting a regular run of games under manager Harry Redknapp despite recovering from a troublesome groin injury.

Pavlyuchenko said: "The way I see it, the manager just doesn't trust me and it doesn't matter if I play well, score goals or try my best in training - nothing will make him change his mind about me.

"So I'm not going to extend my contract, which expires at the end of next season, and will try to leave the club over the summer transfer window.

"Even when I do play well or score a goal, I don't get a chance in the next game. Quite frankly, I'm fed up with sitting on the bench and waiting for my chances.

"The last two matches I was totally healthy but still didn't get even the smallest chance, even during our team's 4-0 drubbing by Fulham."
