What Portsmouth’s strongest starting XI and bench looks like for next season as things stand after fresh contract development

The transfer window is now underway, but it is expected to be a quiet start to proceedings at Fratton Park as Pompey go about landing their targets.

Business is set to ramp up as the weeks go on as John Mousinho assembles his squad for their third-successive Championship campaign.

Thirteen names have so far been touted with a switch to PO4 during the close season as the rumour mill continues to turn.

There is also plenty of uncertainty over a number of players currently in Mousinho’s side, with Pompey bracing for interest in the likes of Adrian Segecic and Terry Devlin.

The futures of the head coach’s fringe players are also under the spotlight, with departures necessary to balance out any potential incomings.

One player who will remain on the south coast next term is Connor Ogilvie, who penned fresh terms to extend his stay on Wednesday.

The left-back signed a new two-year deal at Fratton Park, which will now take him up to the summer of 2028.

As anticipation grows amongst supporters regarding new arrivals, what are the areas in need of some surgery this summer?

We’ve taken a look at what Pompey’s strongest XI and bench would look like at present to work out what’s still required during the window.
