Redknapp chasing Pompey pair

Tottenham's interest in Portsmouth pair Niko Kranjcar and David James was at the centre of a hectic day of negotiations ahead of the transfer window closing this evening.

Spurs boss Harry Redknapp is closing in on Kranjcar as cover for injured midfielder Luka Modric and he needs another goalkeeper, although signing a 39-year-old in James would represent a major shift in transfer policy as the club normally target players with re-sale potential.
