Paolo could be bound for Pompey

Paolo di Canio’s agent has confirmed the Italian would be happy to play for Portsmought if manager Harry Redknapp were to make a move.

Di Canio’s substitute appearance in West Ham’s 2-2 draw against Birmingham on Sunday is expected to be his last, with the club’s relegation almost certainly ruling out a new deal at Upton Park.

Matteo Roggi, Di Canio’s Italian-based representative, told the Portsmouth News: “He would go anywhere with Harry. They had a really good relationship at West Ham and Harry got the best out of him.”
