Portsmouth hope to use their partnership with Belgium's Zulte Waregem to land Trinidad & Tobago midfielder Khaleem Hyland.
Hyland, 19, had his entry to England refused last week, but now Pompey plan to hook up with Waregem and put him there until he is allowed into Britain.
The highly-rated youngster needs to be playing and Pompey hope he can settle in Belgium and have his case reviewed at the end of the season.
