Pompey move for Zaki
Portsmouth have made a bid to sign Egyptian star Amr Zaki, skysports.com understands.
The 26-year-old striker is currently back in his homeland with Zamalek, having spent last season on loan at Wigan.
He made a huge impact in the first part of the season, before falling out with the club and he returned home without a permanent deal.
The likes of Aston Villa, Liverpool and Real Madrid all showed a strong interest last year, but now the player could be offered a route back to Europe by Portsmouth.
Pompey, through new owner Sulaiman Al Fahim, now have some money to spend and they are believed to have lodged a £3million offer for Zaki.
They are now in talks with Zamalek and are hopeful of concluding a deal before Tuesday's transfer deadline.
