Crouch has only made just over 100 appearances for Liverpool, many of them as a sub, during his three year spell at the club and many Reds fans felt that Rafa Benitez never gave him a fair chance to prove himself. Crouch recently admitted his frustration at sitting on the bench at the Premier League giants and he would be interested in a move away this summer.
A spokesman confirmed on Liverpool's official website: "We have reached a verbal agreement with Portsmouth and have given them permission to speak with Peter." Crouch should and I think will be a terrific signing for Pompey as they embark on their first season in Europe. The height of Crouch and the smallness of Defoe in the attack, what a partnership!
