Spurs boss keen to keep Pav

The Russian striker scored the only goal of the match in Spurs’ win over Sunderland on Sunday.

Redknapp admits he may struggle to keep Pavlyuchenko happy at White Hart Lane.

“He’s a fantastic player. He’s got real talent. He’s got great ability, I think. He’s got a good left foot, a good right foot and is a great finisher,” said Redknapp.

“He’s top drawer, but he’s just been unlucky. He didn’t start the season great. He hasn’t really shown the form that he’s capable of so he’s slipped down the pecking order a bit.

“It’s difficult. Some people are going to be upset they’re not in the team.

“Today I lost a wide man, but I thought I’d change it and if you want someone to score he’s always likely to. I want to keep all four (strikers). You need them all.”
