Portsmouth unveiled the club record signing of Peter Crouch today. The England international signed a four-year deal and is believed to have cost Pompey around €13.7million from Liverpool.

Crouch said: "It's fantastic to be back. I believe Harry (Redknapp) gets the best out of me and think the best years of my career can be here."

Redknapp said: "Bringing a player like Peter here shows how far we have come and how far we can go. I'm delighted he's back.

"I never expected to see him back here. He went off to Liverpool and did a fantastic job in my opinion and I'm looking forward to seeing him and Jermain Defoe up front - a big one and a little one - and we've got other good forward here."
