Pav agent believes Crouch will leave

Oleg Artemov, agent of Roman Pavlyuchenko, believes that it will be Peter Crouch who will leave Tottenham this month.

The 30-year-old has been linked with a number of clubs including Sunderland, Newcastle United and Everton as manager Harry Redknapp looks to streamline his squad before looking to bring in some new faces.

And Artemov, who has been hoping to secure a new contract for his client, believes the England international will be the first to leave White Hart Lane this month.

"I expect to talk nearer to the transfer window's closing time," Artemov said in the Daily Star.

"At the moment he is too busy.

"He needs to sell players and to buy new ones. Two or three teams are interest in Peter Crouch.

"So he is most likely to be the one of the five Spurs attackers to leave."
