Redknapp wants to get the best out of Baros

28 January 2008
Baros, who has previously played in England for Liverpool and Aston Villa, will provide a timely boost for Redknapp's depleted squad - with four players, including forwards Kanu and John Utaka, on African Nations Cup duty.
"It's a terrific opportunity to have a look at him. It's a loan deal until the end of the season and then we'll see how it goes from there." " Redknapp told the club's website, www.portsmouthfc.co.uk.
Baros has failed to make an impact with Lyon and has found himself out of favour at the Stade Gerland.
But Redknapp is convinced he has signed a player of real quality.
"He's a good player who has played at Liverpool and Aston Villa - and he's been the golden-boot winner at a European Championships.
"He's got pace and he makes good runs."
Baros' arrival could spell bad news for fellow forward David Nugent, who has endured a difficult start to his Barclays Premier League career.
He signed from Preston in the summer for over £6million but he was soon linked with a move away from the club and has only moved back into the first XI since the departure of Kanu and Utaka to Ghana.
Baros now looks likely to leap ahead of the England international and stake his claim to build a partnership with 12-goal leading scorer Benjani Mwaruwari.
