The writing has been on the cards for a while now for the former Chelsea player. Portmsouth started the season in good form but a terrible run of form dragged them into the relegation battle and only a recent reprive has lifted them away from the danger. Harry Redknapp has signed a 3 year contract to be new manager.

Elsewhere, Milwall look set to sign Argentinian striker, Juan Sara, from Dundee on a loan deal till the end of the season. Milwall manager Mark McGhee is desperate to add to his teams faltering promotion bid and hinted at more arrivals "By the end of the week we could also have two others in. We need that lift. Juan has good scoring record and will give us an option we don't have."
