According to a report, Harry Redknapp’s Portsmouth are closing in on signing striker Peter Crouch from Liverpool.

The News claims that the England international is believed to be set to sign a four-year deal worth £60,000 a week.

Redknapp is reported as saying: “I honestly don't know what the situation is. Peter Storrie deals with that side of things. I tell him who I want.

“Crouchie is a player I like – I've made no secret of that – but only at the right money and that is what Peter Storrie deals with. Peter does all the dealing with the clubs and the players.”
