Tottenham make £12m bid for Portsmouth's Peter Crouch
There has been much speculation surrounding Crouch's future of late, with Sunderland and Fulham said to be preparing offers for the 28-year-old. But according to the News of the World, White Hart Lane seems the most likely destination and talks are expected to get underway this week.
Redknapp has made no secret of his desire to have Crouch on his books once again and it seems his old links with Portsmouth will stand him in good stead to fight off rival clubs.
"It seems Portsmouth want to sell and is that is the case," Redknapp said. "Peter is a player I am definitley interested in. He has played for me twice before and I know what a good player he is.
"I have not spoken to Peter Storrie at Pompey and there are other clubs involved but it seems like a bit of a free-for-all.
"I'm looking to make one or two signings and he is someone I would love to bring in."
Joining Tottenham would not only see Crouch reunited with Redknapp but also former Portsmouth strike partner Jermain Defoe who re-joined the London outfit in January this year.
Keen to get the partnership back together, Defoe told the Star: 'I spoke to Crouchy over the summer while we were on England duty. I've played with him for several years, at Under-21 and now senior level.
'It's down to Crouchy obviously he's going to go where he is going to play games. If he wants to come here to Spurs it is only going to help the team - it would be fantastic if we can get him."
