Latest Pompey News

Portsmouth are being linked with a raid for highly-rated Italian marksman Rolando Bianchi.
The 24-year-old is only behind Francesco Totti and Cristiano Lucarelli in the Serie A goalscoring charts after bagging 17 goals so far this term. Bianchi has shone for Reggina and is attracting a great deal of attention in both Italy and abroad.

Juventus are believed to hold a firm interest - but Premiership scouts are a familiar thing at Stadio Oreste Granillo this term. Indeed Liverpool and Boro have both been touted as possible bidders, as Pompey are now. Portsmouth are looking to bolster their striking ranks next term with the likely departure of top-scorer Kanu.

Another name Pompey are being strongly linked with is former ace Yakubu Aiyegbeni. Portsmouth sold him to Middlesbrough in 2005, but manager Harry Redknapp has rued his sale ever since and remains a big fan. However, with Boro struggling to hold onto Mark Viduka - it would appear unlikely they would be willing to let the Nigerian depart.
