Portsmouth have made a move for Brazilian midfielder Dudu Cearense, according to the player's agent.

The 24-year-old has spent the last three seasons at CSKA Moscow and has impressed at the Russian giants.

Dudu caught the eye in last season's UEFA Champions League and he has been linked with Manchester City in the past.

The Brazilian international's agent Antonio Amorim claims Valencia have also expressed an interest in the player, but that Portsmouth are the only team to lodge a bid for Dudu.

Offer

"The president of CSKA has received the document with the proposal for Cearense," Amorim told Radio Globo.

"Valencia have also been asking about the player but for the moment, the only team that has done an official proposal has been Portsmouth."

Flattered
Dudu has admitted he is flattered by the interest from Portsmouth, but that he will leave his future in the hands of CSKA.

"At this moment England has the most wealthy league in the world and I would be very happy to have the chance of playing there," said Dudu.

"For the moment I am under contract at CSKA for two more years so a transfer will only be possible if the officials of my current team agree that I can leave."
