Pompey agree Muntari fee, close in on SWP
Portsmouth have long been linked with a move for S
Portsmouth have long been linked with a move for Shaun Wright-Phillips from Chelsea but they have finally got their man.
Harry Redknapp has been pursuing the England man for a long time and talks reached an impasse a couple of weeks ago but things have moved forward in the past 24 hours. Portsmouth have received an offer of 20 million Euros for Sulley Muntari and Noe Paramot which has been accepted by the club.
The players will meet Inter Milan officials for talks over the next 48 hours. The money will be reinvested straight away as Portsmouth have reached a breakthrough with Chelsea and the players representatives that'll see the move happen within the next few days.
Muntari was a big player for Portsmouth last season but they have doubled their outlay in a season. SWP is not a direct replacement for the Ghanaian international. SWP will join up with follow England squad members Peter Crouch, Jermain Defoe, Glen Johnson and David James at Fratton Park.
He is looking to reinvigorate his career after having a tough time since moving to Stamford Bridge from the City of Manchester Stadium. His career has stagnated and regular football is what he needs to re-establish himself as a premier player in this league.
Harry Redknapp has a history of taking players who are out of form and brought them back to their former glories. A move to Portsmouth is one that I think most will agree will help his career flourish once more. They are a club going places with some terrifically talented players and there is little doubt that Fabio Capello will be a regular watcher of Portsmouth games this season.
