Lokomotiv Moscow have completed the signing of Roman Pavlyuchenko from Tottenham Hotspur.

Pavlyuchenko has reportedly been keen to leave White Hart Lane after finding first-team opportunities difficult to come by this season.

Lokomotiv are believed to have paid in the region of £8m for Pavlyuchenko's sevices.

The Russian striker will return to his home country and his new club will begin their season in early March.

Pavlyuchenko cost Spurs £14m in 2008 after signing him from Spartak Moscow.

The 30-year-old has scored 42 goals during his time at Spurs.
