Transfer activity is ramping up at Fratton Park as John Mousinho assembles his squad for the new Championship campaign.
Although the Blues are yet to make their first move in the window, the rumour mill continues to turn, with a number of new names cropping up in the past week.
It has taken that figure up to 17 players so far this summer and while many have already been rubbished, others have much more credence.
Using the names who are believed to be on Pompey’s radar, here’s how Mousinho’s side could line-up in the Championship next term.

5. CB: Luke Graham
It is understood Pompey are firmly in the running to land the in-demand centre-back, with reports earlier in the week suggesting the Blues are 'pushing' for talks. Should a deal be complete in the window, Graham will no doubt be eyeing for a starting role. | Focus Images
6. LB: Connor Ogilvie
Long-serving defender penned fresh terms to extend his five-year stay last week. Although Mousinho's side are expected to be in the market for a new left-back this summer, Ogilvie will likely be a mainstay in the defence once again next term. | Jez Tighe/ProSportsImages
7. CM: Ebou Adams
£500,000 January arrival enjoyed an excellent start to his Fratton Park career during the second half of the campaign. The powerful enforcer is expected to play a key role in Mousinho's engine room next term. | Pro Sports Images
8. CM: Rocco Shein
The Estonia international is reportedly on the Blues' radar as Mousinho eyes upgrades to his engine room. The Fredrikstad FK man is also believed to be wanted by Cardiff City and Millwall, but Pompey are said to be the 'hottest option' at present. Shein is a more advanced number eight, with plenty of attacking flair and creativity. | AFP via Getty Images
