Tottenham boss Redknapp delighted as Portsmouth's Kranjcar arrives

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is set to land Portsmouth pair Niko Kranjcar and David James today.

The Portsmouth News says Kranjcar was poised to be reunited with Harry Redknapp at Spurs today in a deal believed to be in the region of £3m.

He was set to be followed out of Fratton Park by James, who has been pursued by both Sunderland and Spurs.

Kranjcar and James' anticipated departures ahead of the 5pm transfer deadline represent the loss of arguably two of Pompey's final big names.

"I'm really delighted," said Redknapp of potentially landing Kranjcar.

"I signed him for Portsmouth and he's a fantastic player and a great lad.

"I've already got two fantastic Croatian players - Luka Modric and Vedran Corluka - who can help him settle in."
