Portsmouth announced a double signing on Monday as Portuguese midfielder Pele arrived on loan from Porto and Hayden Mullins was signed from West Ham United on
a three-and-a-half-year deal. Pele, 21, a Portugal under-20 international, has joined the Premier League side until the end of the season with a view to a permanent deal.

“Hayden and Pele will add strength to our midfield,” executive chairman Peter Storrie told the club’s website. “Both players have been on our radar for a while but we wanted them here in time to beat Monday’s midday deadline to play against Aston Villa. Hayden is an experienced player who has played
exceptionally well against us in the past. He’s a guy with
immense experience in the Premier League and that’s what we need in this situation.”
