Spurs and Pompey in for Croatia striker

by Robin Hackett , 23 June 2009

Croatia international Mario Mandzukic is attracting interest from Werder Bremen, Tottenham and Portsmouth, according to his agent.

The 23-year-old Dinamo Zagreb striker has already signalled his intention to leave the Croatian champions, and agent Ivan Cvjetkovic has revealed there is interest in Germany and England.

But while he is not ruling out a move to The Premier League, Cvjetkovic feels Mandzukic would prefer to play for Werder.

“We have told Dinamo that Mario wants to leave the club,” he told Bild.

“Werder are showing great interest. We will know more in a few days.

“If there is no solution by the end of the month, it will be difficult to complete it in time as Dinamo would play him in the Champions League qualifiers."

He added: “Tottenham and Portsmouth are interested as well, but Mario would ideally like to play in the Bundesliga.”

Dinamo are reportedly asking for €15 million (£12.8m) for Mandzukic.
