Coca-Cola Divisions: Dowie eyes Eyal Berkovic

Iain Dowie could be weighing up a January move for Portsmouth playmaker Eyal Berkovic.

The Crystal Palace manager will have some funds available for team strengthening during the winter transfer window.

Dowie admits that he needs to bring in a number of reinforcements to improve their league position, as they are struggling near the foot of The Premiership.

Berkovic is one of the names on Dowie's list as the Israeli playmaker could bring an added dimension to The Eagles - and create more chances for the prolific Andy Johnson.

Dowie played with Berkovic at West Ham and knows exactly what he can do, meaning a move could be in the offing in January.
