Kranjcar set for Portsmouth
Thu Aug 31, 11:40 AM ET
ZAGREB (AFP) - Hajduk Split's Croatia midfielder Niko Kranjcar is set to join English Premiership side Portsmouth on a 4.5 million euro (5.8m dollars) four year deal.
"I have decided, I am leaving. I can't stand the pressure any more. I solved everything," Kranjcar told the Sportske Novosti daily on Thursday.
"We are losing a great player but there was nothing we could have done," Hajduk Split official Tomislav Erceg said.
Kranjcar began his career at Dinamo Zagreb in 2001 and only a year later, while still a teenager, was named club captain. In 2005 he moved to Hajduk Split.
The 22-year-old is the son of Zlatko Kranjkar who was sacked as Croatia coach after they failed to make it out of the first round at the World Cup.
