Pompey were heavily linked with Brandon Hanlan last season - who had scored 16 goals in 84 appearances for Gillingham at the time of their interest.
However, Kenny Jackett’s side were not prepared to stump up the cash expected to lure the forward to Fratton Park and so looked elsewhere.
Bristol Rovers snapped up Hanlan and, following a tribunal earlier this summer, must pay the Gills £150,000 for his signature.
The Gas are now refusing to let the 24-year-old leave for any less than the £150k price-tag placed on his head.
We have gathered the best of today’s League One transfer speculation below...
