Pavlyuchenko made the right decision to leave Tottenham

The Russian international striker scored 42 goals in 113 appearances for Spurs after arriving from Spartak Moscow for £14 million, but never established himself in the starting line-up and only managed 5 substitute appearances in the Premier League this season.After the north London side brought in Louis Saha from Everton on transfer deadline-day, the 30-year-old opted for an £8 million switch back to his homeland.Reflecting on leaving England, Pavlyuchenko told ITAR-TASS: "I was playing in a strong league, I enjoyed the game and I scored some important goals. During the time I spent there, I developed as a footballer and I became more professional."I think all the decisions I have made during my career have been right. My decision to sign for Lokomotiv is not an exception. I could've stayed at Tottenham and dealt with meaningless things. My desire is to play. I decided, together with my family, that this is the best way."Lokomotiv are a top team and I want to help to reach the serious goals. This season it's a reality to win the Russian title."
