Kranjcar and Diarra to stay

Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp has rejected the rumours that Niko Kranjcar and Lassana Diarra could be set to leave the club and he is keen to keep the pair both at the club.

"It's absolute rubbish - there's not a chance I want to let Lassana go," he told The News.

"There will always be speculation about good players, but there's no way that's a possibility.

"There's not a chance we want to lose him.

"I haven't heard about any interest from Roma for Niko, but I'm sure there will be a lot of clubs interested in Niko.

"He's a terrific player and there will be some top clubs interested in him.

"But we want to keep our best players."
