Hart urges Distin to stay
Portsmouth boss Paul Hart has called on club captain Sylvain Distin to stay at Fratton Park after admitting the Frenchman is seeking a move.
The Pompey skipper sat out the club's 4-1 Carling Cup triumph over Hereford after sustaining a knock to his foot.
Distin has been linked with a move to Aston Villa, but Hart is hopeful he can retain his defensive linchpin.
He said: "We've had a conversation and he has expressed that desire (to leave).
"He's a great player, a great fellow and a wonderful captain.
"Sylvain didn't play against Hereford because he was injured. He got a kick on his foot. We desperately want him to stay."
