Portsmouth deny talks have started to bring Peter Crouch to Fratton Park

Portsmouth have denied reports their officials are in negotiations with Liverpool to sign England striker Peter Crouch.

Pompey manager Harry Redknapp is believed to be keen to recruit Crouch, who has played for him before at Portsmouth and Southampton.

Cheerio? Pompey deny that Crouch is making a return to Fratton Park

But chief executive Peter Storrie said: "It's a lot of nonsense to say we were negotiating to buy him last night.

"We are all concentrating on the FA Cup final."

Crouch has previously admitted he may have to quit Liverpool for first-team football elsewhere in order to keep his England international prospects alive.
