Portsmouth are seeking Premier League permission to sell their players immediately.

The Mirror says Pompey want summit talks with Premier officials to see if they will be allowed to find buyers for Algeria World Cup star Nadir Belhadj, midfielder Kevin Prince Boateng and young defender Mark Wilson.

It would mean doing deals immediately - outside the transfer window - and that would have to be approved by the Premier League and FIFA as the Fratton Park problems mount.

Portsmouth put in their Statement of Affairs to the High Court yesterday as they try to prove they are still solvent and can pay a £11million-plus tax bill on March 1.

If any of those players go they might not be able to play again for anyone this season.
