Kop Trio Contract Worries

It has been reported that Peter Crouch is hesitating in signing a new deal that will keep him a Red for further five years.

Crouch is expected to open contract talks now so the club can tie him down as a valuable asset to the club but the giant striker is holding off signing any such deal until the summer when he can asess his options thoroughly as he is still not featuring regularly enough under the rule of Rafa Benitez.

The Mail On Sunday also reports that contract deals have still not been offered to Harry Kewell and John Arne Riise (both pictured).
