The 29-year old striker's goal totals have reached double figures in each one of his three seasons at Spurs so far but he has found himself behind Emmanuel Adebayor, Jermain Defoe and Rafael Van der Vaart in the pecking order during the current campaign.

"If he wanted to go and it was a good offer, then we would look at that, for sure," Redknapp told the Daily Mail.

"He's not a player that I'm looking to move. I like him. He's a good person, good player. I hope he can have a good season."

Redknapp added that the striker must become more consistent in order to unseat the likes of Adebayor and Defoe as the club's first choice front men, and admitted that a poor pre-season had contributed to his decision to relegate Pavlyuchenko to the bench.

"He has to work hard every game. He has to be more consistent," Redknapp said.

"He didn't have a great pre-season. He hasn't shown enough this year to be in the team.

"He can score goals, and maybe if he goes on a run, gets an opportunity and score some goals for us."
