Roman Pavlyuchenko is desperate to be playing his football in a Spurs shirt next season.

 

The have been plenty of rumours surrounding the Russian international’s future but the striker himself has sought and been given assurances that he has a place at White Hart Lane. "I am a Tottenham player and want to remain one," Pavlyuchenko told a Russian newspaper. "All these talks about a sale or loan don't bother me."

One players fate certainly lies away from White Hart Lane is 19-year old winger David Hutton. Following a loan spell at Cheltenham, the Robins have signed the youngster on a year-long deal with an option for a further year. Hutton was out-of-contract at Tottenham at the end of the season.

Town manager Martin Allen says that he is delighted to have captured a young player with potential. "David has had 11 years at Tottenham and this is a big move for him," he told the club's official website, "He has the potential to be a top player and he is a very good acquisition for the club."
