Pompey complete Viafara signing

Portsmouth boss Alain Perrin continued his preparations for the new season with the completion of midfielder John Viafara’s transfer from Once Caldas.

The combative 26-year-old Colombian was granted a work permit last month after agreeing terms for a move to the Barclays Premiership, in what is understood to have been a £1.6m (€2.3m) deal.
