Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp is offering a massive £12 million to bring Middlesbrough striker Yakubu Aiyegbeni back to the south coast.

The Mirror says Redknapp hopes to clinch the record-breaking capture of the Nigerian hit-man in the next few days.
Top agent Pini Zahavi is taking a major hand in Pompey's dealings, which are backed by co-owner Sacha Gaydamak's cash. He is also Yakubu's personal agent.
Boro are reluctant sellers and turned down the initial offer, but they may cash in on Yakubu and stand to make around £5m profit.
