"He won't be leaving here cheaply"

Harry Redknapp has warned potential suitors of Roman Pavlyuchenko that they won’t be getting him on the cheap.

The Russian striker has expressed his desire to leave Tottenham due to a lack of first-team football and has been linked with a move to Roma.

Redknapp said: “That would be up to the chairman but he’s not a player we want to lose. Roman wants to play regularly but it’s been difficult because the other strikers have all been great.

“There has been talk about him having to move to get games but we are happy with him. If he’s not happy and somebody wants to pay the right money for him then something might happen but he won’t be leaving here cheaply.”
