News: Portsmouth's manager Harry Redknapp is "desperate" for new faces after admitting his side are not good enough for the Premiership.

The club, who nevertheless have signed six players during the close season, this week failed to land Eyal Berkovic, Rufus Brevett and Darren Anderton, and Redknapp claims he is getting worried.

"We know how difficult it is, and I haven't got a strong enough squad to survive in the Premiership," he claimed. "I am searching desperately for more players because the ones we have got are not good enough. I reckon I need at least three or four.

"We have brought in a few, but we've also lost Paul Merson and Gianluca Festa, who were both key players, so in some ways I'm no better off in terms of the squad I have. I am talking to a few because there isn't much time left before the start of the season."

Redknapp will now try to make Ajax's Norwegian defender Andre Bergdolmo his seventh signing after having a £300,000 offer accepted. The 31-year-old has agreed personal terms subject to passing a medical, and the left-back is expected to sign a two-year contract on Monday.

Bergdolmo has been capped 45 times and was a member of the 1998 World Cup and the Euro 2000 squads. His arrival would take Portsmouth's spending to £2.55 million this summer, following the acquisitions of Harald Wapnaar, Boris Zivkovic, Dejan Stefanovic, Patrik Berger, Vincent Pericard and Teddy Sheringham.

Reading have completed the £500,000 transfer of Shaun Goater from Manchester City. The 33-year-old Bermudan signed a three-year contract with the First Division club after his medical.

Fulham have signed Bordeaux's defender Jerome Bonnissel (30), on a two-year deal. The left-back, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Rangers, impressed Fulham's manager Chris Coleman after spending time at their training camp in Austria.

Senegalese international Henri Camara has joined Wolves a on a four-year deal, for an initial £1.5 million from the French club Sedan. The 26-year-old Camara has played 51 times for his country and scored the golden goal which knocked Sweden out of last year's World Cup.

Stoke have signed the former Holland and Chelsea goalkeeper Ed de Goey (36). He played over 100 games in the Premiership.
