McGee has been in cold for more than a year at Pompey, not playing a first-team game since December 2018.

He’s been given the green light by Kenny Jackett to depart and was close to joining Cheltenham last week.
McGee moved Pompey from Tottenham for an undisclosed fee in the summer of 2017 and has 55 appearances in total.
