Pompey outmuscle Fulham in swoop for Slovakia defender Jan Durica
In demand: Durica is wanted by Pompey and Fulham
Portsmouth look set to beat Fulham in a bid to sign Slovakia defender Jan Durica.
Craven Cottage boss Roy Hodgson is thought to have lined up the Lokomotiv Moscow centre-half in the event of a deadline-day raid by Arsenal for Brede Hangeland.
But, with Panathinaikos also interested, Pompey have made their move and hope to do a deal that would see Durica initially sign on loan.
The 27-year-old was on Celtic's radar before he signed for Lokomotiv in January, but he has been unable to secure regular first-team football at his new club.
