And it’ll be another window of change at Fratton Park, with at least 9-10 new faces set to arrive on the south coast.
Although the market doesn’t officially open until June 14, clubs in the EFL have already got their business under way. Pompey are instead biding their time in what could be a defining summer on the south coast.
So far eight names have been linked with a switch to the Blues ahead of the window, including the likes of Tommy Leigh, Gavin Whyte and most recently Aaron Nemane.
We’ve given a verdict on the chances of them making the move to Fratton Park and scored them out of 10.

The Manchester United man was a firm fan favourite in his short time on loan with Pompey. A partnership of himself and Ryley Towler was something which excited the Fratton faithful at the end of the season. Mousinho revealed he would be keen to make a swoop for the defender, who is out of contract at Old Trafford this summer. The head coach has admitted, though, a move wouldn’t come to fruition unless his Red Devils future becomes clearer, with the club holding an option on his deal. It’s an area which Pompey need to strengthen in the window and his arrival would prove popular on the south coast. Rumour rated: 7/10. Photo: Jason Brown
