22-year-old Croatian national team midfielder Niko Kranjčar is arriving at one of the strongest European football leagues - the English Premier League club. In his country, Kranjčar is considered one of the most promising young football players.

In England, the club referred to as "Pompey" will have to pay £3.5 million (around 5 million euros) to former club Split Hajduk for this transfer.

In recent days, the Croatian footballer was also sought after by the French club Rennes, and in mid-July, the Celta Vigo club announced the acquisition of the player.

Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp became interested in Kranjčar after Stilian Petrov, who had also been on his radar, chose Aston Villa.

Niko Kranjčar, who began his professional career at Dinamo Zagreb before moving to Split Hajduk, should arrive to sign a contract with Portsmouth today.
