Portsmouth have revealed that no offers were made for David James after the veteran goalkeeper ended transfer deadline day still at Fratton Park.

Tottenham Hotspur were heavily linked with a move for the England international, but James will now spend at least the next four months with the south coast club.

The 39-year-old keeper was reported to be the subject of a £5million bid from current Spurs and former Pompey boss Harry Redknapp.

However, Portsmouth chief executive Peter Storrie has denied receiving any bids for the experienced shot-stopper.

"He's still here," Storrie told Sky Sports News. "Obviously there was a lot of talk about David but we didn't have any direct offers for him.

"I think a lot of it was done from David and from his agents.

"There was, I think, some interest from Tottenham, but nothing that moved into any bids."
