Liverpool are being heavily linked with a move for former striker Peter Crouch. The giant forward is desperate to leave
Portsmouth, although rejected the opportunity to move to Wearside and join Steve Bruce at
Sunderland.
Spurs were seen as the clear favourites to sign
Crouch, with the forward believed to be keen on a move to the capital.However, Harry Redknapp has hinted that his North London side have been priced out of the market. Second in line were
Fulham, but Roy Hodgson is also expected to balk at the £12 million price tag placed on Crouch's head.That means the door is open for an audacious swoop from
Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez.Benitez is believed to have been keeping tabs on his former marksman, who was sold last year by the Reds for £11 million.With limited striking options, many see Crouch as an ideal foil for
Fernando Torres, and together the pair could forge one of the top partnerships in the Premier League.Powered by: GiveMeFootball.com, the
