Sunderland and Fulham are battling with two more Premiership clubs for Portsmouth striker Peter Crouch.
The Mail on Sunday says Sunderland and Fulham are leading the way as four clubs vie to sign Portsmouth's £12million England striker.
Spurs and Aston Villa would also like to have Crouch on board, but both Harry Redknapp and Martin O'Neill have been told they have to sell before their clubs will meet Pompey's asking price.
