Sylvain Distin has
confirmed his departure from Manchester City and is being tipped to
secure a move to Portsmouth.
French stopper Distin has allowed his contract at Eastlands to wind
down and is set to embark on a fresh challenge.
Portsmouth are believed to be at the front of the queue for his
signature and Pompey chief Harry Redknapp added weight to the talk
when stating he has 'some exciting players lined up'.
Distin has refused to confirm the identity of his next club, but
claims he wants a new experience after five years with City.
"It has been an incredibly tough decision but in the end, I just
feel I want a fresh challenge," he said.
"I have had five very enjoyable years at City and I wish the club
all the best for the future but I want to play somewhere
different.
"It is time for a change and it is time for me to move
on."
