Pompey Hoping To Keep O'Hara

Last updated : 15 October 2009 By Sam

The Spurs midfielder is currently on loan with Pompey until January when Spurs do have the option of recalling him back to White Hart Lane.

However, Storrie has said that he is keen on keeping the player on loan for the remainder of the season.

"There has been nothing from Spurs that Jamie will be going back in January, nothing at all," Storrie told Portsmouth newspaper The News.

"As far as we are concerned, we have an option to keep Jamie until the end of the season. That can be taken up in January if he is enjoying himself - and he is.

"He's happy at this club playing regular first-team football, which is the reason why the lad came here in the first place.

"You can see what a fantastic player he is when he starts matches consistently. Jamie has been excellent for us.

"He has been playing very, very well and obviously we would like to keep him until the end of the season.

"Perhaps there would be a chance of doing something permanent, we will have to wait and see."

Under League rules O'Hara will not be permitted to play when Spurs meet Pompey at Fratton Park this weekend.
