At the turn of the year the Russian forward was frustrated with his lack of first team action at Tottenham and feared for the consequences on his World Cup place with the national team.

Pavlyuchenko even accused manager Harry Redknapp of making fun of him in his treatment and appeared to be engineering a move.

"I'm not in a hurry to make decisions on my career - unlike last month, when I was sure I would leave," said Pavlyuchenko.

"I now think only about the end of the season.

"We stand a good chance of finishing in the Champions League places, so we shouldn't waste this opportunity.

"And we will fight for the FA Cup, too. So I will think about my future in May.

"And I'm not going to guess how many goals I'll score - let's count them once it's over."
