Tottenham midfielder Niko Kranjcar could be on his way to Serie A, according to the player’s agent.

Lazio, Roma and Juventus are all said to be interested in Kranjcar, who has found himself with limited opportunities this season after the impressive form of Gareth Bale and the signing of Steven Pienaar.

The Croatian international was a regular in the Spurs side last season, but after a move in January did not come to fruition, a summer switch seems likely.

The 26-year-old has two years left on his contract but is not expected to see them out after making just 17 appearances this season, and with his last start coming over two months ago against Sunderland.

Kranjcar snubbed a move to Premier League side West Brom in January, but his agent, Adrian Aliaj, said his client could be interested in a move to Italy if the right club are interested.

“Niko is not happy with the situation at Tottenham at the moment. He wants to play. It is a shame that a man of Niko’s quality is on the bench,” Aliaj said.

“He is loyal to the club and has a contract but it is difficult for him.

“It can be a problem when a player is not playing. When he is not playing he is not happy. He feels down.

“Some clubs in Italy are interested him. Lazio, Roma, Juventus — they are all interested, as well as some teams in Spain and in Germany.

“It’s normal to have teams like these interested in a player with such quality.”

He added: “Niko will meet with the manager in the next seven to 10 days to sort out his future. After this meeting, then we will know what is happening.”
