Tottenham's Kranjcar a wanted man in Italy

Lazio, Roma and Juventus are all interested in signing Tottenham playmaker Niko Kranjcar, according to the player's agent. Kranjcar was a regular member of Harry Redknapp's starting XI last year but has only made 17 appearances for the Londoners this season, with his last start coming almost two months ago when he scored in Spurs' 2-1 win at Sunderland.

The 26 year old, who has two years left on his contract, and his agent, Adrian Aliaj, admits his client is becoming disheartened with warming the bench at White Hart Lane.

"Niko is not happy with the situation at Tottenham at the moment. He wants to play. It is a shame that a man of Niko's quality is on the bench," Aliaj said.

"He is loyal to the club and has a contract but it is difficult for him.

"It can be a problem when a player is not playing. When he is not playing he is not happy. He feels down.

"Some clubs in Italy are interested him. Lazio, Roma, Juventus - they are all interested, as well as some teams in Spain and in Germany.

"It's normal to have teams like these interested in a player with such quality.

"Niko will meet with the manager in the next seven to 10 days to sort out his future. After this meeting, then we will know what is happening."
