Portsmouth executive chairman Peter Storrie has expressed that the club will support manager Tony Adams during the transfer window, and revealed that Jermaine Defoe will require a substantial offer if he is to be sold.

Storrie told the Portsmouth News: "I never talk about money but Tony will be given the means if he wants to strengthen the squad.

"From talking to him I know he is looking to do most of his business in the summer. That's when he feels we will get more value for money and more players are available.

"But we are still talking to people now and are looking to bring in two or three during the transfer window to improve the squad.

"All this about selling this player and that player, it's utter rubbish. We are primarily looking to recruit and are planning to bring players in.

"It would take something exceptional or the player wanting to move on somewhere for anyone else to leave."
