Milan make Crouch approach
Wednesday 1 July, 2009
Reports in Italy suggest Milan have turned to Peter Crouch after hitting problems for Edin Dzeko and Emmanuel Adebayor.

The Rossoneri have stated their primary targets for the summer transfer market, but both the Wolfsburg hitman and Arsenal striker appear to be beyond their financial reach.

According to Studio Sport, Crouch is the next name on the list, especially as he would fit in with the new 4m Euro salary cap at San Siro.

The England international is also of interest to Liverpool and Wolfsburg, but any move is delayed by problems at Portsmouth.

Until the club chooses its manager for next season, Crouch’s future and any transfer decisions are on the backburner.

The 28-year-old stands at a remarkable 6’7” and would therefore solve Milan’s dire lack of aerial power in the box.

Former boss Carlo Ancelotti, now at Chelsea, had requested a tall centre-forward to make the most of the crosses rained into the box, but Marco Borriello was injured early on and Adebayor’s move failed to materialise.

It’s believed new Coach Leonardo is sticking with a similar tactic and insists on a player who cal fill that role.

Crouch is well-travelled, having played for Tottenham, APR, Aston Villa. Norwich City, Southampton, Liverpool and Portsmouth.

He hopes to impress in Serie A and the Champions League with Milan to consolidate his England spot ahead of the 2010 World Cup and could well reunite with David Beckham in January.
