Tottenham striker Roman Pavlyuchenko admits he was low earlier this season when not getting a game.

The Russia international has fought back to be part of manager Harry Redknapp's plans.

"I wanted to remind everyone that there is such a player as Roman Pavlyuchenko and that the transfer to Tottenham was not in vain, for him or the team," he said.

"Reading the press, they almost forgot about me, then there was different speculation about where I would be sold during the transfer window.

"I wanted to remind people Roman Pavlyuchenko can play and is a good footballer."
