Ross McCormack has emerged as a target for Portsmouth Football Club.

Pompey have lost their star striker Peter Crouch to Tottenham Hotspur, just seven months after Jermain Defoe made the exact same journey to White Hart Lane.

The News claim the Premier League side have turned to the Championship to find their replacement, with an offer set to be made for the £5million-rated McCormack.

The 22-year-old handed in a transfer request to quit Cardiff City last week, which was rejected, but interest from Fratton Park is likely to make him all the more determined.
