Skysports.com reports that Portsmouth have won the race for Queens Park Rangers' highly-rated goalkeeper Liam O'Brien.

The 16-year-old has been chased by a string of Premier League clubs, but has opted for a move to Fratton Park.

In recent weeks, O'Brien has been on trial at Arsenal and Manchester United, in addition to training with Pompey.

O'Brien has accepted a deal until the end of the season and will sign a three-year professional contract when he turns 17.

Portsmouth have paid an undisclosed sum to QPR in order to secure the signature of the coveted keeper.
