Roman Pavlyuchenko has claimed that Lokomotiv Moscow have signed Tottenham Hotspur's best defender by sealing the transfer of Vedran Corluka.
The Croatian has joined the Russian club on a three-year deal for a fee believed to be around £5.5m and Pavluchenko is excited to be reunited with his old teammate at White Hart Lane.
Pavlyuchenko said: "He is a very tenacious, uncompromising defender, who is practically impossible to beat one on one.
"He's physically strong and, without flatter, I would say that Corluka was probably the strongest defender at Tottenham."
Corluka spent the second half of last season on loan at Bayer Leverkusen.
