FRENCH INTERNATIONAL TURNS DOWN POMPEY

Tony Adams has been dealt another blow after French international striker Sidney Govou turned down a move to cash-strapped Portsmouth.

The 29-year-old, who has won 37 caps for Les Bleus, says he has no intention of leaving Lyon for the South Coast club, but has not ruled out a move to another team.

Former manager Harry Redknapp also tried to sign Govou, who has been at Lyon for 13 years, before he left Pompey but the Frenchman said: "I am not interested in Portsmouth's offer - I would prefer to wait for other offers."

The news may alert Fulham manager Roy Hodgson, who is also believed to be interested in Govou.
