According to a report in the British broadsheet The Times, Premier League outfit Tottenham Hotspur have told Primera Division club Villarreal to stump up cash plus Marcos Senna and Sebastian Eguren for Roman Pavlyuchenko.

It was reported on Monday that officials from El Submarino Amarillo had arrived in London to discuss the possibility of acquiring the 27-year-old's services this summer.

Although it is thought that Spurs are willing to offload the 27-time capped Russia international, it is believed they are hoping to recuperate as much as possible of the €16.5 million (£14m) they paid Spartak Moscow for him last year.

Apparently, Villarreal have only offered €10m (£8.5m) for the striker so far, which may be why Spurs are interested in a cash-plus-player exchange deal.

It remains to be seen whether the Castellon-based side will be willing to part with Uruguayan international Eguren and Brazil-born Spain international Senna, especially as they are key midfield players.

Meanwhile, according to a report in The Telegraph, Tottenham will allow Roman Pavlyuchenko to leave in exchange for Roma's Mirko Vucinic.
