Robert joins Pompey
Portsmouth have signed winger Laurent Robert for an undisclosed fee from Newcastle.
The 30-year-old Frenchman has joined Pompey on a three-year deal after Newcastle boss Graeme Souness made it clear he did not figure in his first-team plans for next season.
Portsmouth chief executive Peter Storrie told his club’s official website www.pompeyfc.co.uk: “We are delighted with this signing and I think it shows everybody not only our intentions, but some of the top players ambitions for the future.”
A Newcastle spokesman confirmed: “Laurent Robert has completed his move from Newcastle United to Portsmouth.”
