Portsmouth still chasing Lua-Lua

Reports in the press suggested that Newcastle United's £2 million valuation of the player had prompted Portsmouth to drop their interest in the player, but Storrie told the official website this was not the case.

"I don't know what this is about. The situation has not changed from the last statement we made over a week ago" said Storrie.

"I repeat there is no deal between the two clubs and the simple fact at the moment is Newcastle's valuation of the player is substantially higher than ours."
