The Fratton Park outfit have called a press conference for 11:45am where it is expected former Manchester City captain Distin will be unveiled while Ghana midfielder Muntari's move from Udinese is also expected to be confirmed.

Tuesday's confirmation Distin's five-year career at Manchester City is over has boosted Pompey's confidence that they could finally complete a £40,000-a-week deal for the 29-year-old on a free transfer.

The 6ft 4in defender opted to see out the final year of his City contract last summer when Pompey boss Harry Redknapp was hoping to sign him.

Distin, signed by City for £4million in 2002 from Paris St Germain after spending a season with Newcastle on loan, said: "I have enjoyed my time at City but now I feel I have to play somewhere else."
