Jeffers target to ease striker shortage

Pompey manager Harry Redknapp has once more strongly confirmed that he is extremely keen to srike a deal which will end Francis Jeffers' loan spell at Everton.

Jeffers has been unable to secure a first team placing ahead of Tomasz Radzinski and Wayne Rooney. Signing Jeffers would undoubtedly ease the current striker shortage that is currently being suffered.

Redknapp said: 'I would like to sign Francis Jeffers, but I don't really think it's a goer. I will try it and see. I am looking for a striker as we are desperately short - I have only really got Teddy Sheringham at the minute. He belongs to Arsenal and he is on loan at Everton and I doubt whether or not Arsenal would want to lose him.'
