New Portsmouth signing Sulley Muntari has been likened to David Beckham.

Blues skipper Dejan Stefanovic reckons the midfielder is as great a passer as the Real Madrid and England star.

The defender said: "Sylvain Distin and Hermann Hreidarsson are good experienced players and good signings.

"I'm excited about Sulley Muntari, too. I saw him close up in the Kanu charity match - and he's going to be perfect for the Premiership.

"He reminds me of David Beckham in a lot of ways. He hits passes with his left foot like Beckham does with his right.

"He likes to hit long cross-field passes and he moves and works hard like Beckham."
