Portsmouth Football Club boss Avram Grant is unfazed by comments made by Nadir Belhadj.

The Algerian international hasn’t started for Pompey since September, and he has revealed he may look to quit the club in the New Year to protect his World Cup place.

However, his Fratton Park manager doesn’t appear to be too concerned over these comments, and insists the 27-year-old has not mentioned a possible winter transfer.

“All my life, I have not spoken about what the papers say, I have only spoken to the players," Grant told the Portsmouth News. "He has not said anything to me.

“I'm always speaking with the players. I have done it since the day I came here and I will continue to do that. The most important thing is they speak on the pitch, though."
