Tottenham Hotspur's Roman Pavlyuchenko has said he would love to see Russian strike partner Andrei Arshavin join him at Spurs. Pavlyuchenko joined Spurs at the start of the season because Tottenham sold there old strike partnership Robbie Keane to Liverpool and Dimitar Berbatov to Manchester United. United loaned out young talent Fraizer Campbell as part of the deal for Berbatov. Spurs now only have Pavlyuchenko, Bent and Campbell who will be heading back to Old Trafford at the end of the season as attacking oppitions.

Arshavin has stated he wants to leave Zenit St Petersburg for a bigger club in Europe and Spurs were heavily linked with the play maker in the summer. Freddy Adu has also reviled that he would love to play for Spurs one of the reasons being he followed them as a child. Adu was tipped to be the one of the best players in the world when he made appearances for DC United in the MLS as a 15-year-old boy. Some of Europe's best clubs were trying to secure his signature back then but he has failed to live up to the expiation's he set himself the 19-year-old still has time to prove himself though.

Adu is currently on loan at Monaco from Portuguese club Benifca but said he wants to play for Tottenham. I feel if Spurs could sign both of these players it would really add strength to their squad and avoid problems when Campbell goes back to United.
