Krasic: I should have joined Spurs

LONDON: Milos Krasic (pic) has admitted he made a mistake turning down a move to Tottenham in January.

The Juventus midfielder confessed snubbing a loan switch to White Hart Lane was the wrong option.

And he has opened the door for Harry Redknapp to make a renewed offer in the summer after declaring his intention to quit Serie A.

Serbian international Krasic, 27, has fallen out of favour under Juve boss Antonio Conte.

The winger said: “It’s obvious that I have been written off and there is no place for me here so all I can do is keep working hard to stay fit and look for a new club at the end of the season.

“There were offers from Zenit St Petersburg and Tottenham during the January transfer window to join them on loan.

“But I decided to stay at Juve because I believed I would get another chance here. Obviously, that was an-ill judged decision and it turns out I would have been much better off if I had left.”

Krasic, who can play on either flank, scored nine goals in 41 appearances for Juventus in his first season at the club.

But he has netted just once in nine games this term. He added: “I am very sad to be leaving Juventus, no one would be happy to leave such a great club under these circumstances.

“But Conte has scrapped me and it’s best for everyone that I leave.” — The Sun, London
