Liverpool challenge Gunners for £12 million midfielder
Liverpool have today emerged as Arsenal's strongest challengers for the signing of Portsmouth midfielder Niko Kranjcar. The Croatian has impressed immensely this season at Fratton Park playing a major role in the sides FA Cup success.
Kranjcar has been linked with a move to Arsenal for some time now as Arsene Wenger looks to strengthen his midfield options with the departure of Mattheiu Flamini and the possible departure of Alexander Hleb.
It now appears as though Rafa Benitez, who is also keen to bolster his midfield options, is targeting Kranjcar. It is likely that both clubs will bid around the £12 million mark for the player. I personally think Kranjcar should spend one more season at Pompey and then maybe move onto Liverpool or Arsenal.
