Portsmouth cleared to keep O'Hara

Portsmouth have received Premier League permission to extend the loan spell of Spurs midfielder Jamie O'Hara if the clubs reach an agreement.

The 23-year-old joined Pompey in August on a six-month deal, with an option to extend for the rest of the season.

But with Pompey subject to a transfer embargo, it had been unclear whether O'Hara would remain at Fratton Park.

A Pompey spokesman told BBC Radio Solent that the clubs had reached a deal in principle.

Meanwhile, the Premier League has confirmed that Pompey midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng cannot play for another club this season.

Fifa rules only allow players to play for two clubs in a season and the former Germany Under-21 international has featured for Spurs and Pompey this term.

The 22-year-old Ghana hopeful had been linked with Blackburn.
