Ex-Wednesday striker Ben Sahar has joined Premiership side Portsmouth on a six-month loan deal.

The Chelsea teenager spent three months on loan at Hillsborough last season, scoring three goals in 12 appearances for the Owls.

Sahar told the official Portsmouth website: "Portsmouth are a great team who can win trophies. They are now in Europe and that will be a big challenge as well."

Dutch side NEC Nijmegen were among the clubs hoping to sign Sahar on a temporary basis.
