Zenit to splash out on Tottenham striker Crouch
Zenit St Petersburg are eyeing a big-money move for Tottenham striker Peter Crouch.
The Daily Mail says the wealthy Russian club's new boss Luciano Spalletti is determined to land an imposing centre-forward and is said to be a huge admirer of the 6ft 7in England star.
Zenit are keen on a move for Roman Pavlyuchenko but will look at other targets if the Russia international's price tag is much above £10million.
However, their attention will stay at White Hart Lane, according to reports in Russia, with Zenit prepared to offer Crouch double his wages and the lure of Champions League football in a bid to pull off the unlikely switch.

Thanks Graeme. But I wouldn't have a go at the Daily Mail. The story has come via the Russian press. And who's to say with Zenit's spending power that they wouldn't at least try to convince Spurs to sell with a big offer? The money in Russian and Ukraine football is incredible.
Crouch isn't the type of fella who would leave for money, he is about success and wants to lead a club composed of hungry players and fans in the search for honours. He is happy here, and is getting first team football and is playing well. I doubt Capello would want him playing there, and he has a good international goal record and i presume he would like to maintain that AND his chances of playing in the world cup. Complete and utter nonsense, he is going no where!
It isn´t the site that is at fault - all it is doing is report on what is said in newspapers - in this case the Daily Mail. If you all want to complain then complain to them. As for the accuracy of the original I do agree - why would Crouch want to move to the frozen wastes when he is settled and playing at Spurs with a ticket to South Africa up for grabs? If anyone is at fault it is the Daily Mail.
