Kiev keen on Kranjcar deal

President Igor Surkis says Dynamo Kiev are in talks over a deal for Tottenham's Niko Kranjcar after he spent the season warming the bench. Spurs are prepared to offload the Croatia international this summer after seeing him slip down the White Hart Lane pecking order.Kranjcar has aired his frustration at a lack of first-team activity on numerous occasions and is pushing for an exit.Atletico Madrid and Wolfsburg are reported to have expressed an interest in his services, but no deal has been done as yet.That has left the door open for Kiev to make their move, with the Ukrainian giants determined to secure a big-name signing after missing out on a number of other top targets.They have already sounded out Kranjcar's agent and hope a meeting can now be set up with Spurs."We are negotiating for Kranjcar," said Surkis. "We still have to meet him and Tottenham, but he is in our transfer plans."We have already missed out on several players - not because we aren't able to meet the demands of their clubs but because not everyone wants to come to the Ukrainian league."If Kranjcar thinks over our proposal, searches his soul and wants to come here, then we will buy him with pleasure."
