Portsmouth manager Paul Hart has boosted his threadbare squad by completing the loan signing of Belgium international Anthony Vanden Borre.
The versatile midfielder joins the south coast club on a one-year loan deal from Italian side Genoa.
Vanden Borre could go straight into Pompey's squad for Saturday's Premier League curtain-raiser against Fulham, providing the club receive international clearance for the player.
Hart said he was delighted to be bringing in a player who made his international debut at 16, and who will offer Pompey some much needed versatility.
