Young West Ham United striker Paul McCallum has joined League Two Portsmouth on loan for the remainder of the season.

The 21-year-old, who has enjoyed previous loan stints with Rochdale, AFC Wimbledon, Aldershot Town, Torquay United and Hearts, has joined Andy Awford's side until the end of the campaign.

And speaking to the club's website, Pompey boss Awford said: “Paul has scored goals at this level before and gives us more striking options.

“I’m looking forward to working with him here and would like to thank West Ham for their assistance.”

McCallum has scored ten times in 20 league starts as a professional but is yet to make his full debut for the Hammers.
