De Graafschap claim Sahar signing

Israel striker Ben Sahar will spend the rest of the season on loan at De Graafschap from Chelsea, the Dutch club have announced on their website.

The 19-year-old, who spent the first half of the campaign on loan at Portsmouth, will join up with his new De Graafschap team-mates soon for a winter training camp in Turkey.

NEC Nijmegen were interested in signing Sahar before he moved to Pompey and FC Utrecht also showed interest but could not finance a move for the youngster.
