It’s been a busy summer at Fratton Park as John Mousinho primes his squad ahead of the new campaign.
Six new faces have already arrived at PO4 in the window, with Odin Bailey, Rocco Shein, Eoin Kenny, Marko Milovanovic, Daniel Bielica and Luke Brooke-Smith completing their switches.
There have been plenty of departures too as the Blues boss makes space in his side to accomodate any potential incomings.
Jordan Williams and Makenzie Kirk have penned loan agreements with Blackpool and Barnsley respectively, while Ibane Bowat sealed a permanent switch to League One Huddersfield Town on Wednesday.
There’s still plenty of business to be done on both fronts before the September 2 deadline as Mousinho assembles his new Championship squad.
Using the latest rumours, we’ve taken a look at what the Blues’ squad could look like after the window’s closure next month.
5. CB: Conor Shaughnessy
Pompey will no doubt be cautious with the Irishman's fitness after another injury-hit campaign. When fit and available, though, Shaughnessy will be a frontline operator for the Blues alongside Regan Poole. | Pro Sports Images
6. LB: Connor Ogilvie
The left-back will miss the start of the season as he continues his recovery from knee surgery. After penning a two-year deal earlier this summer, Ogilvie will return as Mousinho's main man at left-back. | Stephen Flynn/ProSportsImages
7. CM: Jesper Ceesay
The Gambian international is edging towards a move to Fratton Park from Turkish side Antalyaspor. Ceesay operates in the holding midfield role - a position Mousinho is looking to strengthen in the window.
8. CM: Rocco Shein
Shein has been a regular in pre-season for the Blues following his £2m arrival from Fredrikstad in July. Mousinho has admitted the Estonia international's preferred position is as a number eight. | Pro Sports Images
