(GSM) Birmingham City have had a formal bid for Tottenham s Roman Pavlyuchenko snubbed. Although Pav is set to leave Spurs, the North London club has dismissed Birmingham s offer as they hope to get a better offer for their Russian striker.
The two clubs have been talking over the past week about a possible deal. Blues boss Alex McLeish confirmed his interest in signing the Russia international.
Birmingham s approach has been rebuffed as Tottenham to return the £14million they paid for the player in 2008.
Spurs have already signed Eidur Gudjohnsen, a fact that will further unsettle Pavlyuchenko. However, Birmingham will have to better their offer if they want to land the Tottenham striker.
