Portsmouth's summer spending spree extended to over £15m following the signings of David Nugent and John Utaka.

Nigerian international Utaka, who signs for an undisclosed fee from French side Rennes, said a phone call from Pompey striker Kanu was enough to convince him that Fratton Park was the place to be, citing the club's passionate fans were the reason behind his decision.

The 25 year-old also said his ambition had been realised, with a move to the Premiership.
