English Premier League club Portsmouth are reportedly keen to sign Adelaide United goalkeeper Eugene Galekovic in a STG2 million ($A3.61 million) deal.
The Sun newspaper reported on Tuesday that Portsmouth was “keeping tabs on” Galekovic ahead of the FIFA January transfer window opening on January 1.
The club faces being left without a keeper if Tottenham snaps up David James.
“If Spurs bid for England keeper James, Pompey will spend STG2 million on the Adelaide United star,” the newspaper said.
Galekovic, who signed a four-year deal with the Reds in November, has been included in the 23-man Socceroos squad to face Kuwait in Kuwait City on January 6 for their Asian Cup qualifier.

Reds will be in huge trouble if Eugene goes. He’s saved them so many times in 2009, but it hasn’t been enough. If he goes and plays in the EPL then he can book his ticket to South Africa as the third choice keeper.

Adelaide United could do with the $3.6million injection of funds (presuming it all goes to them?). Also a great boost for the local game if the transfer occurs and gives further credibility to the trail blazing work being undertaken by CCM in setting up their football academy.

He’s 28 years old. If $3.6M transfer fee is offered for him Adelaide will sell for sure!
