Striker could deputise for African-bound stars

Portsmouth have reportedly offered a trial to French striker Fabrice Pancrate. The former Paris St Germain forward is currently with struggling Ligue 1 side Sochaux, but has made just three appearances for the club so far this season. Pancrate did have a loan spell at Real Betis last season, but he failed to secure a permanent move to the La Liga side. Sochaux are in the process of recruiting a new manager after their poor start to the season, but the player has been told that he is free to leave the club. Although predominantly a striker, Pancrate can also play on the right-hand side of midfield, and with Portsmouth due to lose John Utaka, Sulley Munatri and Kanu to the African Cup of Nations his versatility could be useful to Harry Redknapp.
