The Sun is reporting today that Slyvain Distin has handed in a transfer request at Portsmouth.

This will come as no surprise to anyone, because we know Distin has to move for his last big pay day and his career.

I said before he had agreed to joined us two months ago but Pompey refused to play ball (as is their right), hopefully we can conclude the deal quickly now.

EDIT : 12:00 – Sky Sports News Understand we have ‘made a bid’ for Distin
