Portsmouth have signed veteran striker Andy Cole from Manchester City on a two-year contract.

The 34-year-old former England international passed his medical on Wednesday after Pompey agreed to pay City a fee which is officially undisclosed, but is believed will rise to 1million depending on his appearances for his new club.

Portsmouth also hope to sign Hajduk Split defender Niko Kranjcar ahead of the transfer deadline in a 3.5million deal.
