Kranjcar's Father: Wenger Wants My Son
Portsmouth midfielder Niko Kranjcar has been under the watchful eye of Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, according to the player's father...
The Croat has enjoyed a fine season at Fratton Park, with a number of clubs said to be monitoring him ahead of the summer transfer window.
And with Arsenal set to lose Mathieu Flamini and possibly Alexander Hleb, coach Wenger could make a move for the 23-year-old.
The player's father, former Croatia boss Zlatko Kranjcar, believes that this may well be the case.
"Wenger was interested in Niko in the Croatian League and he has tracked him for sometime," Kranjcar senior told Croatian tv station Index.
"Wenger likes players with a sense of the game.
"Arsenal plays creative football and Wenger recognises this in Niko and he would be a logical replacement for Hleb."
Niko, born in Zagreb, formerly played for Dinamo Zagreb and Hajduk Split before joining Pompey.
