Belhadj is also an attacking threat for Portsmouth
Portsmouth have signed defender Nadir Belhadj on a permanent contract after a successful loan spell at Fratton Park.
The 26-year-old Algeria international has signed a four-and-half-year deal after Pompey agreed a fee of £4.4m with French club Lens.
Manager Tony Adams told Portsmouth's website: "I'm delighted to have secured Nadir as a permanent signing - he is an excellent acquisition for the club.
"He has great pace and energy and is a terrific crosser of the ball, too."
As well as shining in defence, Belhadj has also scored twice in his 23 appearances so far this season.
