It comes after Gavin Bazunu returned to parent club Manchester City following an impressive campaign between the sticks at Fratton Park.
The 20-year-old’s stock rose considerably during his season-long stay, catching the eye of Premier League, Bundesliga and Serie A clubs in the process, which rules him out of a possible return to PO4 next term.
And with the Blues releasing second-choice stopper Ollie Webber last week, it leaves Danny Cowley with just Alex Bass as his only senior keeper.
With highly-rated 18-year-old Toby Stewart likely to continue his development within the academy or out on loan next season, Pompey will once again return to the goalkeeping market for answers.
But who is a likely candidate to fill Bazunu’s considerable boots?
We’ve taken a look at nine keepers we feel the Blues could realistically choose as their next No1 or to compete with Bass next season.
Here’s what we found.
9. Christy Pym - Peterborough
The powerful shot stopper is set for a move away from Peterborough this summer after being transfer-listed by the Posh. It came after the 27-year-old was involved in a changing room bust-up in September and failed to make another appearance for United again. Instead, he spent the second half of the 2021-22 campaign at Stevenage, where he kept five clean sheets in 23 outings for Boro in League Two. Photo: Marc Atkins
