Premier League crisis club Portsmouth have signed Serbian international defender Dusko Tosic on a free transfer. Portsmouth have been allowed to strengthen their squad despite the clubs recent financial woes. The club could have folded on Wednesday but a hearing on an unpaid tax bill has been delayed till next week.
Tosic was with German Bundesliga side Werder Bremen before his contract was cancelled earlier this month. Pompey boss Avram Grant has been looking to bolster his squad as they attempt to escape the Premier League relegation zone.
Grant told Sky Sports News: “He’s not under contract so we could sign him (outside the transfer window),”
“He played for Werder Bremen and I think he could help us because we don’t have enough defenders, and he can at full-back and in the middle.”
The defender could make his debut against Stoke City at Fratton Park next weekend. Tosic joins fellow defender Ricardo Rocha in joining the club outside the transfer window due to him being a free agent. He has won nine caps for his country and has played in France in Ligue One with Sochaux as well as the Bundesliga.
