"Supported by Russian businessman Alexander Gaydamak, the club continues to spend money and strengthen with new players. This time, the team has acquired three new football players - defenders and midfielders Pedro Mendes and Sean Davis. It is believed that the deal amounts to nearly 11 million euros.
All three players arrived at Tottenham during the summer of 2004, but recently they have not found a place in the main lineup of the London team. 26-year-old Portuguese P. Mendes played in six matches this season, his one-year former England youth team player S. Davis played only once, and also 26-year-old French defender N. Pamarot played for the team twice.
Portsmouth, aiming to stay in the English Premier League, last week added two strikers - Zimbabwean Benjani Mwaruwari, acquired from Auxerre, and Nigerian Emmanuel Olisadebe, who holds Polish citizenship, joined the team from Panathinaikos until the end of the season."
