尼日利亞一高一矮組合
Skysports.com understand that Portsmouth have made a renewed bid to snatch Obafemi Martins from under the noses of Newcastle.
We revealed on Sunday that a €16 million (£10.9 million) deal had been struck between Newcastle and Internazionale for the Nigerian striker.
"I can confirm we have agreed a fee with Inter Milan for Obafemi Martins," chairman Freddy Shepherd told the club's website.
"It is now up to the player and the agent to agree terms on offer."
However, it can now be revealed that Pompey have not given up hope of landing Martins and have now made a fresh bid - with an increased offer of personal terms.
It is now believed that Martins is seriously considering making the move to Fratton Park rather than St James' Park.
Newcastle held lengthy discussions over the weekend with Martins's representatives and progress was made. But nothing was signed and that has given Portsmouth the opportunity they needed to make their move.
While Newcastle can offer Martins big wages, they cannot live with the new found financial power of Pompey - who are now bankrolled by Alexandre Gaydamak.
Manager Harry Redknapp is keen to bolster his squad and Martins would no doubt represent his biggest coup to date, despite the summer arrivals of England internationals Sol Campbell, David James and Glen Johnson.
Meanwhile, Portsmouth have completed the re-signing of Serbia international Ognjen Koroman.
The 27-year-old spent the latter part of last season on loan at the club and he has now arrived back on the South Coast on a similar deal after terms were agreed with Russian outfit Terek Grozny.
