Pompey confirm Bouba Diop departure

Portsmouth have confirmed the transfer of Senegal midfielder Papa Bouba Diop to Greek outfit AEK Athens. AEK announced last week that Diop had joined them on a two-year deal but the completed move was only made official by Pompey on Thursday. The Senegal international made 72 appearances during his time at Fratton Park, with the last one coming in the FA Cup final defeat to Chelsea in May. Portsmouth chief executive David Lampitt told the club's official website: "We thank Papa for his contribution to Pompey and wish him the very best for the future."
