Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp says he won't pay over the odds for Liverpool striker Peter Crouch.

"I don't know if the avenue for Peter Crouch is shut or not," Redknapp told The News. "If Liverpool are asking £15m for him it is certainly shut.

"I like Peter, but he belongs to Liverpool at the moment. If the price is right something could happen. If they wanted £10m it would certainly be more interesting. We do need another front man.

"At the moment we have David Nugent, Kanu and Jermain Defoe. We need another one up there, at least. You need to have at least four strikers. So I need another good one up there."
