Pompey keen on Belhadj
Pompey boss Harry Redknapp confirmed he was keen on bringing Lens defender Nadir Belhadj to Pompey.
The Pompey boss told The News earlier in the summer chief scout Ian Broomfield had recommended the Algerian to him.
Belhadj can play at left-back or as a left-sided wing-back.
Redknapp stated he would only be looking to bring the player in on loan and would not be able to stump up a fee for his services.
The Blues manager also underlined the need for an injection of pace down the right flank.
A lack of natural width down that side was again noticeable as Pompey were thumped by Chelsea yesterday.
Redknapp said: 'I'd like to get the Algerian, but don't know if I can.
'It would only be a loan. That's what we're looking for.
'We have a problem on the right, too.
'We need someone with pace. We have no one there like that at the moment.'
