Three clubs are reportedly interested in signing under-used Tottenham midfielder Niko Kranjcar. The Croatia ace is being linked with a move away from White Hart Lane after failing to start a club match this term. Sources in his home country believe Monaco and two un-named Premier League clubs have an interest in signing the 26-year-old.
The two unnamed Premier Leagues are rumoured to be Aston Villa and Liverpool and both sides would do well to snap up the White Hart Lane man who can’t seem to force his way into the Tottenham reckoning. Harry Redknapp is quite right to state that with Gareth Bale in incredible form the Croatian playmaker has less chance to get a first team start and at 26 he will not want to be wasting away on the bench.
Gerard Houllier is known to be an admirer of the former Portsmouth man and the Villa Park boss has been promised funds to invest in his squad in January and the Frenchman is looking to inject more creativity into his Aston Villa squad.
However, it is believed that £8m rated Kranjcar has a liking for Liverpool and may prefer a move to Merseyside but clearly such a move would depend greatly on what state the club is in come January and that also depends very much on whether the Tom Hicks and George Gillett would still be at the club by that time, which seems unlikely.
Roy Hodgson is desperately looking for players to help provide the cutting edge in the attacking third and he would dearly love to secure the signing of the Tottenham man who is an adaptable attacker who can play out wide or in an advanced midfield role.
A move to Monaco seems less likely given the poor start the club has made in Ligue 1 this term added to the fact that after four years in England Niko appears settled and feels the need to prove himself in the Premier League.
