Gary O'Neil

Portsmouth are ready to sell Gary O'Neil to Fulham in a shock £5 million move.

Fulham boss Lawrie Sanchez has been keen to take the 25-year-old Portsmouth midfielder to Craven Cottage, according to Monday's Daily Mirror.

And it appears that Sanchez is leading the way despite late interest from Middlesbrough..

Gary Paul O'Neil, born on 18/05/1983 at Bromley, became Portsmouth's youngest player at 16 years-old and has played an increasingly important role in the South Coast squad.

He is normally played on the right of midfield at Portsmouth but believes his best position is central midfield.

O'Neil has played as captain at each level of England youth football.
