ChampionshipReading striker Pavel says he rejected a move to Russian side Tom Toms, preferring to help the Royals bounce back into the top flight at the first attempt. "I've decided to stay at the club, although I had offers, including Russian clubs. Not just from those teams which are always in the spotlight but also from Tom Tomsk. But I answered 'no'," the 29 year old told ITAR-TASS agency.

"It's not about money but about my desire to play in England. I'd like to be back in the Premier League and I like the British culture very much."
