The Fredrikstad FK midfielder is wanted by Championship rivals - but a move to Fratton Park is on the cards, according to reports.
Pompey have moved to the head of the field bidding to land Estonian midfielder Rocco Shein, according to reports.
The Blues are the new favourites to land the 22-year-old from Norwegian top-flight side Fredrikstad FK, with Championship rivals Millwall and Cardiff City also said to be keen.
Pompey ‘hottest option’ to land in-demand Fredrikstad FK man
Shein is said to be valued between £2.5m and £4.2m with Pompey now the ‘hottest option’ of those pursuing the Estonian international, according to Fredrikstad Blad.
The 6ft 1in man emerged with Flora Tallinn in his homeland before moving to Holland with Utrecht and Dordrecht - and on to his present employers last year.
The attacking midfielder,who can also play on the right wing, has two goals and two assists from 11 Eliteserien outings this term.
That follows on from a goal and six assists from 28 games in his first season in Norway.
