Harry Redknapp has sent a warning out to all interested clubs that Croatian playmaker Niko Kranjcar is not for sale. Kranjcar has struggled to make the Spurs starting XI in recent times despite recovering from injury, with the Lilywhites blessed with the likes of Gareth Bale, Luka Modric, Aaron Lennon and Scott Parker in the centre of the park.
QPR and Fulham were both said to be interested in giving Kranjcar an escape route out of White Hart Lane, with CSKA Moscow also said to be keeping tabs on the situation. However Redknapp has said that Kranjcar is not for sale this January, adding that the player was too important for him.
It remains to be seen whether the Spurs gaffer thinks the same of South African international Steven Pienaar, for whom QPR have made a 3.5m pound bid.
