After a quiet start to the summer, Pompey have kick-started their business with the arrival of Adrian Segecic.
The Australian under-23’s international becomes the Blues’ first signing of the window, penning a three-year deal at Fratton Park.
John Mousinho’s men paid a substantial compensation fee for the 21-year-old’s services following his departure from Sydney FC.
Although one new face has come through the doors at PO4, there has also been one emotional departure. Christian Saydee’s two-year stay on the south coast came to an end on Thursday after he made the switch to Wigan Athletic.
With plenty of incomings and outgoings expected over the remainder of the window, it’s still poised to be a busy summer as Pompey prepare for their second-successive Championship campaign.
But what still needs to be done?
Well, we’ve taken a look at what the Blues’ current strongest XI and bench looks like to work out which positions still need strengthening this summer.
13. SUB 1 - Jordan Archer
The keeper fulfilled his role last season and Schmid’s back-up and will likely do the same this season - adding strength and depth to the goalkeeping unit. | Jason Brown/ProSportsImages
14. SUB 2 - Hayden Matthews
It was a real tough call to decide between Poole, Matthews and Bowat to partner Shaughnessy. Matthews was superb following his arrival in January before his season-ending ankle injury and will look to return to full fitness at the start of the new campaign. Pompey are also interested in bringing back Rob Atkinson this summer, with Tom McIntyre and Ryley Towler’s future’s uncertain. | Jason Brown/ProSportsImages
15. SUB 3 - Zak Swanson
Pompey triggered the 12-month option on his deal meaning he will stay at Fratton Park for his fourth season. Needs to stay fit if he wants to challenge Williams for the starting right-back slot. | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages
16. SUB 4 -
The left-back only featured once in his maiden campaign due to injury. Will be interesting to see the battle between himself and Ogilvie. | PA
