Kranjcar to fight for Tottenham future
iko Kranjcar is happy to fight for his place at Tottenham, despite speculation linking him with a move away from White Hart Lane in January.[LNB] Kranjcar has cut a peripheral figure on the Spurs bench so far after falling down Harry Redknapp's pecking order following his move from Portsmouth last season.[LNB]While summer signing Rafael van der Vaart has been grabbing the headlines, the Croatia international has yet to start a game in the Premier League and hasn't featured in their Champions League group-stage campaign.[LNB]Everton and Monaco have been touted as possible suitors for the 26-year-old but Kranjcar maintains he is not angling to leave.[LNB]"I am waiting for my chance," he told The Independent. "The squad is probably one of the best in the Premier League. I have to work hard."[LNB]Kranjcar's father Zlatko, is the Montenegro manager and 53-year-old is relishing the prospect of facing England on Tuesday, according to his son.[LNB]"What really characterises him is that he believes his team is good enough to beat anyone and he channels that belief into the players," added Niko.[LNB]"He is looking forward to the game and to leading out a team at Wembley. It is every international manager's dream.[LNB]"After six points from the first two games they [Montenegro] know if they win that game against Switzerland it will be a big win and being first in that group will be a big sensation. [LNB]"He and the team are really focused on that game. England is like a big bonus."
