Roma Eye Niko Kranjcar <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Kranjcar’s eye-catching displays helped Portsmouth to FA Cup glory as well as eighth place in the Premiership, a run of form that he has continued in Austria and Switzerland as Croatia secured their progression to the knock-out phase of Euro 2008. With Amantino Mancini and Ludovic Guily set to leave the San Siro in the coming weeks, Luciano Spalletti is reportedly scouring Europe for wide players as he looks to strengthen his squad ready for the new season. West Ham United’s experienced midfielder Freddie Ljungberg was a surprise target according to Gazzeta dello Sport, but it now appears that Kranjcar is their prime candidate. Should Roma lodge a bid with Pompey, they are likely to face competition from Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger who has been tracking the 23-year old’s progress with a view to making a £15 million move this summer. In other news emanating from Fratton Park, Le Havre’s highly-rated youngster Gauthier Mahoto has admitted he is keen on a move to the club after being offered professional terms by manager Harry Redknapp. The 16-year old said: “I am tempted to join Portsmouth. If Le Havre don't make the effort to keep me, I will leave."</div>
