Tottenham Hotspur could make a move that would send striker Roman Pavlyuchenko to Liverpool in exchange for midfielder Yossi Benayoun.

Don't Miss

The Reds were looking to bring the Russian international to Anfield in the winter but Spurs' asking price of Benayoun plus £2million was too high for Liverpool.

Liverpool could decide just to sell the Israel international in a straight money deal and could get up to £10m from Spurs, Aston Villa, Roma, Sevilla or Dynamo Moscow, who have all shown interest in Benayoun.

Spurs were close to selling Pavlyuchenko to Russian Premier League side Lokomotiv Moscow for £10m in the winter but the striker later returned to Harry Redknapp’s starting line-up, and Lokomotiv manager Yuri Semin now fears that a move for the Russian will be tough.

“The situation has changed,” Semin told The Daily Mail.

“I'm afraid it will be difficult to get Pavlyuchenko.

“His team qualified for the Champions League and he regained the coach's confidence.”
