Portsmouth have tabled an informal contract offer to David James aimed at keeping the veteran goalkeeper at Fratton Park for another season.

James, 39, is out of contract at the Championship-bound club and has remained coy on his future plans following their relegation from the Premier League.

The former Manchester City, West Ham, Aston Villa and Liverpool keeper is currently away with England on World Cup preparation duty but has been offered a new deal by the south coast club.

Administrator Andrew Andronikou told The News: "Two weeks ago we met with his agent, Colin Gordon, and said we wanted David to stay.

"There are financial considerations, but we have informally made an offer to him and hopefully we'll move it on in the next few days."

James has been at Portsmouth since 2006 and has made over 150 first-team appearances during his time on the south coast.
