Aston Villa have moved for
Portsmouth striker Peter
Crouch.
The Sun says Pompey are ready to sell the 28-year-old
England striker but are unlikely to get the £12million price they
want for him.
Sunderland boss Steve Bruce believes he is in the driving seat
to clinch a deal for around £10m.
But now Europa League-bound Villa are expressing an interest
with Norwegian John Carew facing an uncertain future.
