Lens left-back Nadir Belhadj has agreed a four-year deal with Portsmouth, according to reports in France.

Algeria international Nadir Belhadj has agreed to join Portsmouth, claims L’Equipe, and Pompey must now agree a fee with Lens to complete the deal.

West Ham had also shown interest in the player recently, with Belhadj keen to leave Lens following their relegation from the French top flight. He previously said he wanted to move to Glasgow to join SPL champions Celtic.

But if L’Equipe is right, it seems that Pompey boss Harry Redknapp has succeeded in tempting the 26-year-old - who only joined Lens from French champions Lyon in January 2008 - to the South coast.
