'I love it': Portsmouth's Millenic Alli addresses his Fratton Park future after impressive Luton Town loan switch
The former Exeter man has made 10 appearances at Fratton Park
Millenic Alli addressed his Pompey future and insisted: I love it here.
The left winger has wasted no time making a Fratton Park impact after joining on loan from League One Luton for the remainder of the season.
In 10 successive Blues starts, the 26-year-old’s pace, power and directness have helped fill the gulf created by Josh Murphy’s season-ending injury.
Certainly many of the Fratton faithful would be keen to retain the services of an explosive player who joined the Hatters from Exeter in a reported £1.5m deal in January 2025.
Indeed, sporting director Rich Hughes has previously spoken about ‘wanting to keep him here’ when asked about the impressive attacker remaining on the south coast.
Yet Alli, who claims he has three years left on his Kenilworth Road deal, insists he is only focusing on the present.
‘It’s fantastic here, I love it here’
He told The News: ‘My future? That’s a big question. Where, when, how? Close future or far future?
‘My future at Pompey is right now, I am on loan here until the end of the season. However that may look come the start of next season, we will have to cross that bridge once it gets there.
‘Of course it’s something you always think about, but you can only focus on now and try to do the best job you can do now. Whatever happens God willing, we’ll see from there.
‘I don’t know what Luton think, I haven’t had any of those conversations. We’re going to find out what they have planned for me!
‘It’s fantastic here, I love it here, it feels like I'm at home. I have been treated very well since I’ve come here.
‘I get along with the players very well, I have gelled with everyone, I’ve got a great understanding with the team as well. I love the fans as well. It has been very good since I’ve been here.
‘You have to always focus on football and deal with every game as they come and give 100 per cent.
‘I have three years left (at Luton). It’s not simple, you never know what happens tomorrow, so we’ll see.’
Crucial Blackburn clash
Pompey head to Blackburn on Saturday (12.30pm), representing a huge clash in the battle to remain in the Championship.
Mousinho’s men are presently positioned one place and one point above Rovers in 19th place, plus they have a game in hand.
Yet, under new head coach Michael O’Neill, the Ewood Park club have recently rallied, with two wins from four matches since he last month took over the helm for the rest of the season.
And Alli, who is in the frame for an 11th successive start for the Blues, believes the visitors possess enough quick to achieve a positive result at their relegation rivals.
‘Pace, power, strength, many, many strengths’
He added: ‘We've got the right players and the right manager, so God willing we can stay up.
‘We have a variety of players who work hard, we work very well together, we stick together and I feel like we work off each other very well. It’s pace, power, strength, many, many strengths.
‘We are going to go to Blackburn, we will stick together and we are going to do our job - and, God willing, that’s enough.’
