AS Bari & Pompey have agreed a deal for the transfer of Erik Huseklepp. The Norwegian will be in Portsmouth tomorrow for a medical. http://www.asbari.it/societa/archivio-news/3627-huseklepp-al-portsmouth.html
And to sign the contract too, according to your link, Matt! Great news that is, thanks for sharing it with us.
Wikipedia claims we have already signed Him !! "Erik André Huseklepp (born September 5, 1984) is a Norwegian forward who currently plays for Portsmouth in the Football League Championship in England and the Norwegian national football team"
Good good, looks a decent player too, hope he can settle into the Champ well. Never, ever trust wikipedia, it can be edited by anyone. Even if it does look like we're gonna get him.
If we do sign him, what will the chant be in his first match ? Now what rhymes with Huseklepp for goodness sake ?

http://www.ba.no/sport/fotball/article5703403.ece Press conference expected tomorrow. Convers also tweeted about it tonight.
Take a look at the following video. He looks the business ! Not a bad standard of football in Serie A. Mouth watering or what ?! http://youtu.be/ESE6jtjUIkU
Could you link the video again? Can't seem to get it working. I know its not much to go on, but I've spoken to a couple of Norwegian football bloggers/pundits, they all seems to agree- great signing for Pompey, could play at a higher level, good pace, skill & mindset, he can read the game well & make clever calls. Negatives would be slightly weak in the air, and maybe not used to really physical matches- although Erik himself claims he's improved that, and I'm sure Cotts can toughen him up I'm excited
