- Cottagers net Pompey ace
Fulham have agreed a £1million deal with Portsmouth for the signing of veteran defender Dejan Stefanovic.
The 32-year-old Serbia international has agreed a two-year deal at Craven Cottage, but still needs to secure a work permit to complete his switch to the capital.
Cottagers Lawrie Sanchez told the club's official website: "Dejan is a formidable defender with vast experience at both domestic and international levels.
"He reads the game well, is brave and knows the pace and strength of the Premiership, so I have no doubt that he will prove to be an asset for us over the coming months.
"It's been a busy transfer period for us and we have bought some real quality into the squad.
"It's been a disappointing start for us in terms of the results, but I'm confident that we have a squad of players now that can go on and achieve things here."
Stefanovic had been with Pompey for just over four years, having previously enjoyed a spell in England with Sheffield Wednesday.
