Happy Crouch has open mind
Peter Crouch is happy at Fratton Park, but his agent has refused to rule out the possibility of leaving Portsmouth.
The future of the much-travelled England striker, 28, is somewhat uncertain as the south-coast club await the completion of Sulaiman Al Fahim's proposed £60million takeover, with Sunderland, Tottenham - one of Crouch's old clubs - and Italian giants AC Milan all said to be ready to test Pompey's resolve with a £14m bid.
While 6ft 7in Crouch - signed by now Spurs boss Harry Redknapp from Liverpool in a £9m deal during July 2008 - has no reason to consider moving on, his representative Jonathan Barnett maintains they have to keep an open mind.
"I think Portsmouth have financial problems. I think every player is available," Barnett said in the Portsmouth News. "You would have to speak to Portsmouth to see if they are willing to sell Peter. He does not feel he has been let down, though, and he has a great relationship with Portsmouth.
"We have not heard anything from Milan or anyone at this stage. He is a Portsmouth player; he likes the club and thinks a lot of (executive chairman) Peter Storrie and (caretaker manager) Paul Hart. He is happy.
"But if there are circumstances where he has to move, that is football I am afraid. If Portsmouth were to receive an offer from somebody then we would have to listen to it."
