Redknapp takes a look at Olisadebe

PORTSMOUTH are to take a look at Panathinaikos striker Emmanuel Olisadebe, who arrives on the south coast for a short trial today.

Manager Harry Redknapp is looking to bolster his striking options after losing Vincent Pericard to a thigh injury after only six minutes against West Brom on Saturday, and hopes the Nigerian-born Poland international - who turns 27 tomorrow - might be an answer.

Redknapp has been linked with Manchester City’s former England marksman Robbie Fowler, but could go abroad for his first signing since returning to the club.
