Transfer gossip: Portsmouth 'eyeing' summer move for League Two talent alongside Luton Town
Pompey have eight matches remaining to seal their Championship survival.
Pompey are ‘eyeing’ a summer swoop for Cheltenham Town defender Arkell Jude-Boyd, according to reports.
The Blues have been credited with an interest in the 23-year-old, who is out of contract with the League Two outfit.
The young right-back has less than three months remaining on his current terms and is expected to depart The EV Charger Points Stadium at the end of the campaign.
Pompey linked with ex-QPR man
Indeed, a fresh report from Football Insider’s transfer guru Pete O’Rourke has suggested John Mousinho’s men are one of two potential admirers.
The article has claimed the Blues and League One outfit Luton Town are both ‘eyeing’ a move in the summer window on a free transfer.
Pompey, of course, have full attention on their survival fight, with one point currently separating themselves and 22nd-placed Leicester City.
Who is Arkell Jude-Boyd?
Jude-Boyd rose through the ranks at QPR, where he amassed three outings at U21 level, but failed to register a first-team outing for the west London outfit.
After loan stints with Torquay and Dagenham and Redbridge, the full-back sealed a free-transfer switch to Cheltenham Town on a two-year deal following their relegation to League Two.
The young defender has since amassed 74 outings in all competitions for Steve Cotterill’s side, which includes 30 fourth-tier appearances this term.
Mousinho is well stocked in his right-back department, with Terry Devlin, Zak Swanson and Jordan Williams all gunning for a spot in the side.
