Challenged: Pennant has been told to show his commitment by Adams
Portsmouth manager Tony Adams has told Liverpool winger Jermaine Pennant to prove he wants to join the south coast club or the move is off.
The clubs have agreed a fee, believed to be around£2million for a player who is out of contract in the summer, but Adams is worried about Pennant's attitude towards a possible switch.
Adams will told talks with executive chairman Peter Storrie and said: "I need to find out what's happening. It's been said he doesn't want to come but I'm not convinced that is the case.
"The deal has been agreed with Liverpool and I need to speak with Jermaine and see how he feels about coming to Portsmouth.
"If he doesn't want to, then it's the same as Jermain Defoe or anybody who wants to leave the club.
"I only need players who are working hard and are all in it together. People have to want to come and play."
