Kallon fails to impress Redknapp

The former Monaco forward Mohamed Kallon has left Fratton Park after being on trial for the last week. The out of contract 28 year old appeared in the 2-2 reserve team against Aston Villa along side David Nugent and did well.

Steve Bruce had already taken a look at him at Birmingham but decided against a deal but after concerns over a work permit Kallon was not offered a deal. Even though Harry has been reported as wanting another striker he felt that there was not enough difference between what he already had to make an offer.

Talking to The News Harry Redknapp said "We were just having a look at him. He's out of contract so it was worth a go.

"He trained with us all week and played a reserve game and he did all right. But we're not going to take it any further.

"He's a good player, but we've got Benji, Kanu and Nugent at the moment and they're all doing well and scoring goals for us.

"For someone to come in he's got to be better than them, he's got to improve us or give us something different.

"So we wont be following that one up and he's gone. I'm pleased with the strikers we've got already."
