South Africa leading striker and English premiership player Benni McCarthy is eying a move to Portsmouth. Jerome McCarthy - brother of Benni - told the local media that come the January transfer window Benni would be making moves to depart from Ewood Park.
“Benni told me something is going to happen and chances are he will move to Portsmouth in January,” Jerome said on People.co.uk. He said his brother feels that it makes more sense that he leaves Blackburn were game time has been difficult to come by.

Most South Africans are hopeful that the return of Alberto Parreira would also mark the return of Benni to the national team after being snubbed by former coach Joel Santana.
Other rumours link Benni with a move to the Spanish La Liga or the Dutch Eredivisie should the reported move to Pompey fall through.

Other suitors believed to be chasing McCarthy’s signature include Spanish sides Espanyol, Deportivo La Coruna and his former club, Ajax Amsterdam.
Should the move to Portsmouth materialize, McCarthy will team up with compatriot and former Blackburn teammate, Aaron Mokoena. The two South Africans, whose business interests are managed by Rob Moore, played together for two seasons at Blackburn.
