Charlton midfielders Jerome Thomas and Amdy Faye have secured moves back to the Barclays Premier League.

Thomas has joined FA Cup winners Portsmouth on a season-long loan, while Faye has moved to top flight new boys Stoke after a successful trial period.

Thomas goes straight into Harry Redknapp's squad for Sunday's clash with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and could make the move permanent if he impresses during this campaign

Pompey chief executive Peter Storrie said: "Jerome's a young player that Harry has always liked - a quick, wide player who is a good addition to the squad.

"The idea is that he comes here and proves himself. If he plays to the ability we all know he has then he has a great chance of staying here longer, so it's in his hands.

"Harry has been looking to add a quick, wide player, something that's important when you've got someone like Peter Crouch up front."

Faye spent most of last season on loan at Glasgow Rangers, before returning to Charlton in the summer.

He played a handful of pre-season games for the Addicks, before joining Stoke on trial where he made a substitute appearance in the 2-2 draw against Osasuna.
