- Glovers sign Pompey schemer
Yeovil Town have signed Portsmouth midfielder Jean-Francois Christophe on a month's loan.
The 20-year-old Frenchman joined Pompey last summer on a two-year contract from Racing Club Lens, but has yet to break into the first-team picture at Fratton Park.
He spent the first half of the current campaign on loan at Bournemouth, scoring once in 11 appearances for the Cherries.
Glovers number two Steve Thompson told the Western Daily Press: "He's a big lad, about 6ft 2ins, and he looks to play more of a holding role.
"As we saw when Portsmouth beat Manchester United, all their players are big, strong lads and he's no exception.
"Having a big midfielder is good for defending set-pieces as well as attacking set-pieces."
