There are less than three weeks to go until Pompey’s season-opener against Oxford United on August 9.
The Blues have added two new faces to the squad ahead of the curtain raiser at the Kassam Stadium, with Adrian Segecic and John Swift making the move to Fratton Park.
There are also plenty of rumours doing the rounds linking names with a switch to PO4 as John Mousinho looks to strengthen to his side.
