Pompey expect to seal the capture of Charlie Daniels.

It is understood the former Bournemouth defender is in the process of tying up a Fratton Park deal ahead of Saturday’s visit of Hull.

The 34-year-old’s departure from Shrewsbury was announced by the club on Tuesday evening, paving the way for a switch to Pompey.

Now the Blues are completing the paperwork for Daniels, who will provide left-back competition for Lee Brown.

And they are highly confident that they have got their man.

Daniels spent almost nine years with the Cherries, making 265 appearances and scoring 17 goals.

Since joining Shrewsbury this term, he has featured 16 times and scored twice.
