"A deal has been agreed between the clubs and the transfer may be concluded by Thursday [today]," said a club spokesman.
The 26-year-old Pavlyuchenko, a Russian international, is still in Moscow awaiting a visa that will allow him to travel to London to complete the move.
"Right now I'm getting my visa and as soon as it is ready I will fly to England to sign a contract," he said.
"Everything has happened very quickly so I could not even say goodbye to my teammates."
BBC Sport understands that the deal is not yet a formality but Spartak's general manager Valery Karpin told Russian newspaper Soviet Sport that Pavlyuchenko was on his way to White Hart Lane. - BBC
