Hart targets Finnan capture



Portsmouth manager Paul Hart hopes to bring at least six new players to Fratton Park before the new season starts in less than three weeks' time, with former Liverpool star Steve Finnan at the top of his list.

Finnan is currently with Spanish side Espanyol but could team up with the rest of the Pompey squad before they fly out to Portugal on Wednesday for the latest part of their pre-season work.

Hart told the Portsmouth News: "Over a period of the next week or two I'm expecting maybe five or six players to come.

"We've got quite a lot of targets that we're working on and we're hoping that most of them will come to fruition.

"I think we've got a chance of signing Steve Finnan before we go to Portugal, although I'm reluctant to talk too much until it's actually pen to paper.

"In the next week or two we should see some additions to the squad.

"I've been looking at most positions because obviously we've got to have back-up and there's a type of player and a type of character that we're trying to get in as well.

"Five or six players is what we're looking at and I'm hopeful."
