Irish be warned, Srna the real deal

Niko Kranjcar is in no doubt — Darijo Srna must be the most underrated player in Europe.

There might, of course, be a bit of bias to the Tottenham playmaker’s proclamation. He has, after all, roomed with Srna for the Croatian national team.

But there’s also a fair bit of evidence backing him up. It is by no means unreasonable to argue that, pound for pound, Srna might well be one of the finest right-sided players in the world at the moment. And that’s in attack and defence.
