Pompey close on 'New Makelele'

Pompey close on 'New Makelele'
Reports in Portugal have suggested that Benfica's Manuel Fernandes is set to become a Portsmouth player.

The 20-year-old midfielder is rated extremely highly and Benfica are not prepared to part with him lightly, but Pompey's spending power could see them table an irresistible offer.

...
Fernandes, touted as the new Claude Makelele, is right up there at the top of his list and is believed to be keen on challenging himself elsewhere.
Does this mean that he wasn't tall enough to be the more familiar 'next Patrick Viera'?
