Stephen Hunt has been linked with a switch to Portsmouth Football Club, in the Sun.

The Republic of Ireland international is expected to quit Reading this summer, after the Madejski Stadium club failed to make an instant return to the Premier League.

And just 24 hours after Birmingham City denied an interest in the midfielder, the Sun claim Paul Hart is set to bid to take the 27-year-old to Fratton Park.

Pompey are looking to add to their squad in the aim to avoid another struggle against relegation, and Hunt could be available for just £3.5million.
