Pompey face a challenging and potentially crucial few days as they look to pull away from the Championship relegation zone.
As it stands, John Mousinho’s men are sitting four points and two places clear of the drop zone in 20th position as they will look to recover from a 4-0 hammering at Birmingham City on Saturday.
The Blues are currently focusing on Wednesday night’s home clash with Wrexham before they visit play-off contenders Hull City at the weekend.
Behind the scenes, the Fratton Park hierarchy are already planning for the January transfer window - but there are some intriguing options still available now on a lengthy list of free agents - and they include a number of players that are familiar to the Pompey faithful.
Here’s the best options currently available if head coach John Mousinho decides to dip into the free agents market again.
