Dabizas chase hots up

Last updated : 14 July 2003 By Martyn Elliott

Portsmouth are reported to have renewed their interest in the player after Dejan Stefanovic’s application for a work permit was turned down because he hasn’t played enough international matches in the past two years.

Several Greek clubs have previously been linked with signing Dabizas, but he has stated that he wants to stay in the Premiership.
