Portsmouth insist they will not sell Kevin-Prince Boateng for cheap as the relegated side waits on improved offers for the Ghanaian international.

The sale of the midfielder has become crucial for the cash-strapped club as they look to raise some funds.

After a sterling performance at the World Cup with Ghana, Portsmouth administrator Andrew Andronikou says the offers received does not match Boateng's valuation.

“After the World Cup, Boateng’s agent turned up with a mandate from someone offering us £2.8-million. Yes, this was after the World Cup,” Andronikou said.

“Boateng did excellently in the World Cup. If we do not get £5-6million there is something terribly wrong in the transfer market. The problem is there are people trying to rip us off.

“He is one of those talented midfielders that any club will make money from him just by having him there. We value him at £6m and will not let anybody get him on the cheap.”
