The transfer window is less than three weeks away and anticipation is already growing on the south coast.
John Mousinho’s troops will be hoping to avoid another relegation battle, which saw them secure their safety with two games to go.
Plenty of business both in and out of the door at PO4 are on the cards, with the Blues starting their transfer preparations early.
But could Pompey look at the Premier League for potential options?
While names including Andy Robertson, Bernado Silva, Harry Wilson and more are without deals next term, they’re no doubt beyond the Blues’ reach.
However, we’ve gone through the top-flight players expected to become free agents this summer who could be possible alternatives.

2. Solly March - Brighton
The right-winger has reportedly been told he will be free to leave Brighton this summer, bringing an end to his long-term affiliation at the Amex. The 31-year-old has amassed 300 appearances for the Seagulls, netting 26 goals and provided 31 assists since his 2013 debut. March is expected to have plenty of interest this summer after Fabian Hurzeler’s side opted against handing the academy graduate fresh terms. Pompey are, of course, in search of right-wing options during the transfer window, with youngsters Harvey Blair and Franco Umeh the sole options at present. | Getty Images
3. Dennis Cirkin - Sunderland
Mousinho’s men are likely to scour the market for a new left-back this summer, regardless of Connor Ogilvie’s contract situation. Jacob Farrell could potentially depart on a permanent basis, leaving a possible void on the left. Cirkin is well-accustomed to the Championship, having played a key role in the Black Cats’ promotions from League One and the second-tier. Game time, though, has been hard to come by in the Premier League for the 24-year-old, who is without a deal going into next term. The ex-Tottenham Hotspur youngster was limited to just eight league appearances as he fell down the pecking order in Regis Le Bris’ defence. | Getty Images
4. Josh Laurent - Burnley
The midfielder’s future at Burnley is uncertain following their relegation from the Premier League. The versatile operator is out of contract at Turf Moor this summer, despite being a regular fixture for the Clarets, where he totalled 35 appearances during the season. Laurent has spent two years with Burnley and is an experienced Championship operator, having impressed with the likes of Stoke City and Reading. | AFP via Getty Images
