Paul Hart is confident Aruna Dindane will be a hit at Portsmouth Football Club.

The Ivory Coast striker is on loan at Fratton Park from Lens, but he is yet to open his Premier League account and missed two clear chances against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.

However, Hart, who is eager for Dindane to find his shooting boots in the fight to avoid relegation, is confident the 28-year-old will soon be showing his quality.

“I think Aruna's getting fitter and stronger, you can see that for yourself. He's getting there,” the Pompey boss told The Times. "He caused Spurs an awful lot of problems and he will only get better.

"He's a great lad and will score goals, I will tell you that now. Next week, the week after, he will get in those positions again and probably stick away four of them.”
