Portsmouth boss Tony Adams is convinced they have a worldbeater on their hands in Marc Wilson.

Adams said: "The kid's fantastic and if he makes mistakes he makes them honestly. It can only be beneficial for him, it's a big positive.

"The first choice would be Glen (Johnson), but to get that level of experience for Marc can only be great for his career, it really can.

"I rate Marc highly - I think he's got every chance and I've been absolutely delighted with him. He's been given a chance and he's taking it.

"I think he can be a real Premier League player."
