Diarra not leaving Portsmouth
Portsmouth chief exec Peter Storrie has ruled out any possibility of talented French midfielder Lassana Diarra leaving the club in the summer. Tottenham had been linked with the former Arsenal and Chelsea man.
Storrie told The Portsmouth News: âI've been at the Premier League meeting and have been with representatives of all the clubs."
Tottenham had been ready to bid an apparent £9 million for him: âI had dinner with Daniel Levy from Spurs. If they were interested in Lassana Diarra, I think he may have mentioned something!
âBeing that I'm up at this meeting with Spurs I might have had an insight into that.
âLassana is one of our most important players, and only arrived at the club in January.
âHe is not for sale and that is the end of it.â
