Portsmouth have completed the signing of Norwegian Bjorn Helge Riise on loan from Fulham. Riise, the younger brother of former Liverpool and Roma left back John Arne, has joined the South Coast outfit on a short term loan deal till November 7, 2011.
The 28 year old medio, who can play in the centre or on the right, could make his Pompey debut when they take on Peterborough United in a midweek Championship fixture.
Riise joined Fulham from Lillestrom in 2009 but has struggled to cement a first team spot at Craven Cottage. He spent some part of last season on a similar emergency loan deal at Sheffield United, making thirteen appearances for the Blades.
