Kevin Bond`s new loan signing, Franck Songo`o is expected to go straight into today`s starting line up when the Cherries host Rotherham at Dean Court.
The 19 year old was schooled in the Barcelona youth acadamy alongside Argentinean Lionel Messi and Arsenal`s Cesc Fabregas.
It appears Barcelona rated Songo`o highly enough to insist on a 20% sell-on clause when he moved to Fratton Park in the summer of 2005.
Songo`o was born in Cameroon
on 15th May 1987 and is described as 5` tall, weighing in at 11st 7lbs.
Speaking to the Daily Echo Bond said....
I worked with him for 18 months at Portsmouth. he plays wide, has pace, gets at players and at his best, he is what we need.
Songo`o has yet to feature in this seasons Pompey`s first team, but last season he came on as a substitute, playing against Gillingham in the Carling Cup, then Bolton and Newcastle in the Premiership.
