Adams glad to take old friend Pennant on loan

WINGER Jermaine Pennant has agreed to join Portsmouth on loan from Liverpool until the end of the season.

Pennant was expected to move to Pompey last week, after the clubs agreed terms for a player signed by the Reds for £6.7million (€7.2m) from Birmingham in July 2006.

The 26-year-old was subsequently reported to prefer to stay at Anfield, but Portsmouth yesterday revealed that they have got their man after all.
