Defender Hermann Hreidarsson is having talks with Charlton Athletic after the Addicks matched the £500,000 fee agreed with Portsmouth at the end of last week. The Icelander has been talking to Pompey but spent yesterday evening discussing a deal with Alan Curbishley's club.

Hreidarsson says he will consider both offers: "I will weigh up each club carefully before deciding.

"I was impressed with Harry Redknapp and what Portsmouth had to say but I have told them another club has come in and I need time to decide, which they understand."
