LONDON (AFP) - South Africa midfielder Quinton Fortune is being chased by Portsmouth and Ipswich as the former Manchester United star looks for a new club, his agent said Thursday.

Fortune was released by Bolton at the end of last season following an injury-ravaged spell at the Reebok Stadium.

But the 31-year-old's agent Hayden Evans claims Premier League club Portsmouth and Championship outfit Ipswich have both expressed interest in his services.

"Quinton is definitely looking for a club and there is interest from a few sides," Evans told Skysports. "Portsmouth have made an enquiry and we are waiting to see what comes of that.

"Ipswich have also shown an interest and there are several others who are keen on Quinton.

"Blackburn are also keeping tabs on Quinton as he impressed there last season and Mark Hughes was lining up an offer for him before he left.

"Quinton is working hard on his fitness and he is an attractive proposition to clubs as he is an experienced and versatile performer."
