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.
But could the Blues line-up for the season-opener next month?
We’ve put together what Mousinho’s 20-man squad to face Oxford United could look like if the current transfer rumours are true.
9. RM: Adrian Segecic
The Aussie sensation has had a bright start to life at Fratton Park following his move from Sydney FC. The young forward netted in the 2-0 win over Woking last week and will be hoping to be a part of the starting XI going into the new campaign. | Simon Roe/ProSportsImages
10. CAM: Callum Lang
There has been plenty of speculation over the forward’s Fratton Park in recent days after reports suggested Pompey had rejected a £2m bid from Championship rivals Preston North End. Andy Cullen has since declined to get involved in ‘so-called interest’ and was adamant the club will not be drawn into commenting on ‘unsubstantiated links’. | Getty Images
11. LM: Josh Murphy
Will be hoping to continue his impressive form seen last term, which saw him claim The News/SportsMail Player of the Year accolade. Was a nightmare for Championship defences after netting seven goals and providing 14 assists. | Simon Roe/ProSportsImages
12. ST: Colby Bishop
It’s been three years since the Magic Man sealed his move from Accrington to Fratton Park. Since then, the striker has netted 55 goals in all competitions and goes into the new campaign after finishing as the club’s top scorer for the third successive season. Photo: Habibur Rahman
