Division One leaders Portsmouth today confirmed they have signed Nigeria striker Yakubu Ayegbeni on loan from Maccabi Haifa for the rest of the season.

The 20-year-old, who scored in Haifa’s Champions League win over Manchester United this season, announced yesterday he would be joining Harry Redknapp’s side in a deal worth an initial £300,000 with a further £4.2million to follow if Pompey win promotion to the Barclaycard Premiership.
