Fernando Belluschi

Portsmouth are targeting Olympiakos midfielder Fernando Belluschi, who would cost the club £7 million, according to The Mirror.

The Premier League side have recently been taken over by Arab billionaire Dr. Sulaiman Al Fahim and are set for a summer of big spending.

The club have yet to appoint a new manager, after Paul Hart revealed he would not be taking the Pompey job permanently upon securing Premier League survival last season.

Despite the lack of a manager, it is thought the club want to capture the energetic midfielder before the new season.

The 25-year-old has been impressing since his move to Greece from his native Argentina, and Pompey are reportedly leading the race for his signature.

The former River Plate player will want a move to England, but a move to a bigger European league may be too hard to turn down for the Argentina international.

The attacking midfielder has been at the Greek club for the past year and a half and has played a total of 34 league games for them, scoring eight goals.

However, despite his good performances throughout his career, he has failed to hold down a regular spot in the national set up, making only two appearances for Argentina.
