Portsmouth closing in on extending Sean Raggett's loan from Norwich
Pompey are closing in on ensuring Sean Raggett will be available for the League One play-offs.
The Blues are almost at an agreement with Norwich for the centre-back’s Fratton Park deal to be extended.
Raggett moved to Pompey last summer and has made 36 appearances, scoring twice.
Should a deal be struck, it’ll ease the Blues’ defensive concerns ahead of next week’s play-off semi-final first leg against Oxford United.
Pompey are also hoping Christian Burgess will be available for the remainder of the campaign ahead of tonight’s deadline.
As reported by The News, the popular centre-half has been lined up for a summer move to Belgium club Royale Union Saint-Gilloise on a three-year deal with an option.
However, Burgess is desperate to bow out his Fratton Park career with promotion to the Championship.
Pompey have already secured extensions with loanees Steve Seddon (Birmingham), Ross McCrorie (Rangers) and Cameron McGeehan (Barnsley).
Kenny Jackett's side are also confident out-of-contract players such as Lee Brown, Oli Hawkins, Brett Pitman and Brandon Haunstrup will pen short-term deals to be available for the play-offs.
