Portsmouth boss Avram Grant is confident Jamie O'Hara will remain with the club beyond this month.

Grant has plans to enhance his squad, but a transfer embargo is proving problematic as he cannot sign anyone until outstanding debts are paid.

The Premier League have diverted television revenues to the clubs owed money and Grant is hopeful that by 10th January, he will be in a position to sign players once again.

"I have spoken to Harry [Redknapp] and he says it will be okay," Grant said.

"I had a plan for 1st January, now they tell me it is 10th January. I am ready, just say to me, 'Yes' and I can bring in the players we need and I'm sure the team will be better.

"Today we have [only] 18 players. I can't play.

"We have many players in one position, not even one in another position. We need to do things in January to make the team stronger. We have to."
