10 free agents still availalble to Portsmouth as search for transfer reinforcements continues

Pompey have had a busy summer on the transfer front.

With nine new additions added to John Mousinho’s ranks and four players departing to date during the transfer window, the brief given to sporting director Rich Hughes to freshen up the Blues’ first-team ranks has certainly not been ignored.

And with just over two weeks of the summer trading period left to negotiate, there remains plenty of time for the Fratton Park side to continue to reshape their options.

Saturday’s 3-1 home defeat to QPR on the opening day of the Championship season highlighted the need for additional work to be done.

Meanwhile, Mousinho has himself said he wants at least another three new signings through the door in order for Pompey to be a more competitive force in English football’s second tier.

Whether or not they are paid-for new additions, loanees or free agents remains to be seen.

The chances of the latter category being explored looks unlikely given the fact that the new EFL season is already a week old.

However, there remains some decent players without clubs who could help Pompey fix some of the problems that were on display against the Rs.

Here’s 10 we picked out who could still make the Blues a stronger force in the Championship.
