Pompey expect ban to be lifted
Portsmouth expect the transfer embargo imposed by the Premier League to be lifted on Tuesday.
The ban on registering players was linked to payments owed to Italian side Udinese over the signing of Sulley Muntari, who has since returned to Serie A with Inter Milan.
An agreement between the two parties is thought to be in place and the league lifting the embargo will allow Avram Grant to enter the transfer market to help the club's bid for survival.
Portsmouth's executive director Mark Jacob told The News: "We have been working very, very hard behind the scenes and are delighted the embargo has now been lifted.
"It will now enable Avram Grant to strengthen the squad where necessary. This is another piece of the jigsaw we are trying to put back together."
