Roman Pavlyuchenko is ready to accept an offer to join Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala after getting tired of waiting for opportunities at Tottenham, according to his agent.

Pavlyuchenko has long been tipped for a move away from White Hart Lane, after failing to dislodge Emmanuel Adebayor and Rafael van der Vaart as manager Harry Redknapp's preferred striking option. Redknapp has always maintained he will not let anyone leave the club without identifying a replacement, however.

Clubs including Queens Park Rangers, Spartak Moscow and Lokomotiv Moscow have all been linked with a move for Pavlyuchenko but the player's agent, Oleg Artemov, has revealed the 30-year-old is now prepared to accept Anzhi's concrete offer after growing frustration with his predicament.

"At the beginning, Roman absolutely ignored Anzhi," Artemov told Tden.ru. "He wasn't against going back to Russia, but not to the Makhachkala-based team, but Pavlyuchenko is tired of the uncertainty and the lack of match action.

"He has a concrete offer from Anzhi in his hand. This offer is very good and profitable.

"Roman will accept it unless he gets a better offer."
