Harry admits Kranjcar fears
Spurs boss admits for first time that unhappy Kranjcar could leave
Spurs boss Harry Redknapp has admitted for the first time that Niko Kranjcar could leave in January - but hopes he will stay.
The Croatia midfielder has grown increasingly disillusioned with a lack of opportunities at White Hart Lane and this week repeated his threat to quit the club if he continues to be frozen out.
While Redknapp would like to keep hold of the 26-year-old, describing him as "fantastic" and also "unlucky" that Gareth Bale and Rafael van der Vaart are playing so well, the Spurs boss finally declared on Friday that he would not stand in Kranjcar's way if he wanted to leave in the next transfer window.
Speaking ahead of the crunch clash with arch-rivals Arsenal on Saturday, Redknapp said: "
We're not going to gift Niko away; he's a top player in my opinion.
"Let's see how things go in the next month with him."
Understand
He added: "I really wouldn't want to lose him, but I do understand where he's
coming from as well.
"He needs to play; he's a top-class player. He's gone away and scored five
goals for Croatia in the last three games.
"Hopefully, he'll get his chance sooner rather than later."

So Spurs don't plan on letting him go for peanuts but we do have a shot if we could strike a deal that includes Iaquinta, if they're still interested.:eyebrows:
