Roman Pavyluchenko admits he's been stunned by the passion of Tottenham fans.

"It is a great feeling to walk into White Hart Lane and see all the fans and hear them singing their songs,'' he said. "It gives me goose-bumps. The Tottenham fans' attitude to the players is very powerful. No words can explain how I feel about Spurs fans. You have to feel it inside like me.''

The Russia striker also told the Sunday Telegraph : "I couldn't show my true game from the start. It wasn't easy because English football was a different speed and different style to what I was used to. Now, step by step, I am understanding more about English football and it is easier to get into the game.''
