Portsmouth see
Saviola as a replacement for Defoe, who left to return to
Tottenham.
Portsmouth boss Tony Adams hopes to land Real Madrid striker
Javier Saviola in the coming days.
After swooping for midfield pair Hayden Mullins (West Ham) and
Pele (Porto), Adams is now working on a deal for Saviola.
The News says sources at the club are suggesting the
move is close to completion over the next few days.
