Pompey Have Two Traores

Last updated : 21 August 2008 By Jim Bonner
Pompey have confirmed the loan signing of Armand Traore from Arsenal.

The 18-year-old left back has been borrowed from the Gunners for a season and could make his debut against Manchester United on Monday.

Unlike our other Traore, Armand is highly rated and is a much welcome addition to the squad as we were desperately in need of another left back. The Frenchman can also play on the left wing and some Arsenal fans believe that to be his best position.

The capture of Traore should rule out a move for Nadir Belhadj as well as any more loan deals as Harry has used both loans available to him now. So this could well be our last move in the transfer market unless players are sold.

Welcome aboard Armand, here's hoping you perform better than your namesake!
