The source has mentioned that the southern Russian side intend to enter into negotiations with Spurs this week over the transfer of the 26-year-old Croatian.

The transfer window for Russia doesn't end until March and, with their season not commencing until then, this will give the Bulls time to try to strike a deal for yet another addition to their squad.

Kranjcar has struggled to feature under Harry Redknapp this season in London, playing a part in only a handful of first team fixtures and netting two goals.
