Crouch poised for Pompey switch

By Phil McNulty
Chief football writer: BBC

Crouch is entering the final year of his contract at Anfield
Peter Crouch is poised to complete his switch from Liverpool to Portsmouth in a deal that could be worth up to £11m.

BBC Sport understands the two clubs reached an agreement over the weekend and the 27-year-old will now open talks and undergo a medical.

England striker Crouch has set his heart on linking up with Pompey boss Harry Redknapp again after leaving the south-coast outfit six years ago.

He will team up with Jermain Defoe in a new-look Portsmouth attack next season.

Liverpool are expected to initially receive in the region of £9m for Crouch, who joined the club from Southampton in July 2005 but only started nine Premier League games last term.

Anfield boss Rafael Benitez initially said he would consider offers for Crouch in the region of £15m but has been forced to scale back his demands for a player with only a year left on his current contract.

Crouch has scored 40 goals in 135 appearances for Liverpool but has struggled to hold down a regular first-team place in recent times.

He was relegated behind Fernando Torres, who scored 33 goals for the Reds after signing from Atletico Madrid last summer.

However, he was a popular figure with Liverpool fans and still managed to net 11 goals as he was mainly used as a substitute by Benitez.

Crouch started his career as a trainee at Tottenham before moves to QPR, Portsmouth, Aston Villa, Norwich - where he had a spell on loan - Southampton and Liverpool.

:lol:

who will be that stupid

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has slapped a £15million price tag on England striker Peter Crouch.

"Crouch wants to play every week but knows he must fight it out with Fernando Torres," Benitez said.

"We keep seeing Portsmouth linked with the player but we have had no offer as yet.

"A £15m price tag would not be unreasonable."


:houllier:

I think they are selling him at so much per Inch / Centimetre
That is why the price is higher than we all expect
