Sodje's Pompey Deal In Doubt

Former Super Eagles defender, Sam Sodje, has revealed that his much expected move to Portsmouth may not see the light of day after all.<br /><br />The 2008 FA Cup winners told reporters that Portsmouth want him take a pay cut for the deal to go through.<br /><br />Sodje, who is a free agent however seems unperturbed by the development as he added that there is another offer from League One side, Tranmere Rovers, that parades his younger brother Akpo.<br /><br />"The deal would have been concluded by now but Pompey asked that I should take a pay cut for me to sign for them."<br /><br />"My agents and myself rejected their offer and I could eventually take the offer coming from Tranmere Rovers where my younger brother, Akpo plays for."<br /><br />"Aside Portsmouth, I had an offer from Greece but I rejected it because my family are settled in England but that cannot be a reason for me to accept what Pompey demanded."<br /><br />"I'm a free agent; so I'm not really worried by this turn of events. I wanted to play for them because they have a rich history where Nigerian stars had made name for themselves like Kanu and Utaka," Sodje stated.
