Tottenham have confirmed the transfer of Roman Pavlyuchenko from Spartak Moscow for an undisclosed fee, believed to be around £12 million.

Pavlyuchenko had a hugely impressive Euro 2008 for Russia and arrives at Spurs with a record of 77 goals in 147 games for Spartak. Clearly Tottenham have themselves a very decent player and we’ll need to keep an eye on his value once he arrives across the fantasy games.

His arrival does of course make the transfer of Berbatov to United all the more inevitable. Indeed, the next 48 hours are likely to see a number of big moves and, with a international break, we’ll have a dangerous amount of time to ponder changes to our fantasy lineups as a result of the major transfers that take place.
