LONDON, July 28 – England international striker Peter Crouch was reunited with Harry Redknapp at English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur on Monday after completing his much-anticipated move there from rivals Portsmouth.
The 28-year-old former Liverpool star – who played for Redknapp at Portsmouth and will also team up with former Pompey strike partner Jermain Defoe – signed for an undisclosed fee, though Spurs had been looking to sign him for around 10million pounds while Portsmouth had wanted 15million pounds.
Crouch, who began his career at Spurs as a trainee has also played for Southampton and Aston Villa, agreed personal terms and passed a medical with Spurs on Monday.
According to Portsmouth’s website his sale was purely down to financial necessity.
Crouch, scorer of 16 goals in his 34 international appearances, had preferred to go to Spurs rather than another Premier League club Sundarland, who made a 12million pound approach for hjim last week.
