So, Sylvain Distin has finally had enough of Premiership strugglers Man City and is hoping to ply his trade at Portsmouth next season. The Frenchman was a huge part of the Manchester outfit and will be hugely missed at Eastland’s. But what is Man City’s loss can now be Portsmouth’s gain. The South coast team are lining up a formidable defence for the start of next year with Distin moving to be alongside former England and Arsenal man Sol Campbell. Distin statistically is one of the best central defenders in the Premiership and, in my opinion, is the best defender in the air in the English top flight. His clearance and aerial prowess is almost unrivalled and he has coped well against the likes of Peter Crouch and Didier Drogba this season. He will certainly be an excellent addition to Portsmouth and will definitely be one to keep an eye out for at the start of next season.
