CRISIS club Portsmouth have moved in for Bolton centre-back Danny Shittu (The Sun).

The out-of-favour defender has been told he can leave the Reebok by boss Gary Megson just a year after arriving.

And the ex-Watford man is a target for Pompey boss Paul Hart as he desperately tries to bolster his squad.

Shittu, 28, cost �2million last summer but started just nine league matches last term.

And the arrival of centre-back Zat Knight from Villa has pushed him further down the pecking order for the new campaign.
