We’re still a couple of weeks away from the transfer window opening - yet Pompey have already been linked with a stack of summer signings.
Inevitably some of those names are on the list of potential arrivals the recruitment team are working to as the Blues raise the recruitment bar, while others are well wide of the mark.
We’ve used our contacts and inside knowledge to break down every, single player linked with joining John Mousinho’s Championship charge - and the chances of a move happening.
9. Jesurun Rak-Sakyi - Crystal Palace
Another attacking talent Pompey would love at Fratton Park next season, but also a move which appears to be a stretch at the moment. Looks like he's on the fringes at Selhurst Park, but with the futures of Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise under the microscope the 21-year-old may be pushed up the pecking order. May be a chance a loan deal could be become live late in the window. Photo: Bryn Lennon
10. Chris Conn-Clarke - Altrincham
Linked with a stack of clubs including Pompey after a season where he bagged 23 goals and 12 assists for National League side Altrincham. Pompey are looking for an attacking midfielder, but the suspicion is it's one that could impact the Championship now - with that leap a big on for the 22-year-old. | Altincham FC Website
11. Michael Craig - Reading
The Scottish under-21 midfielder has been linked after a breakout season with Reading and Pompey are looking to strengthen in the middle of the park, but the understanding is Craig isn't a player they're looking to move for. | Getty Images
12. Josh Murphy - Oxford
Arguably the department which will get the most attention this summer is wide areas and Murphy is someone who brings the kind of pace and strength required. A stack of clubs have been linked with the 29-year-old, who impressed at Fratton Park in March. No doubt Oxford getting promoted didn't help the chances of doing a deal for the free agent and also not necessarily in the age bracket largely being recruited. | Getty Images
