Nine new faces have arrived through the doors in the opening three weeks of the market as John Mousinho looks to assemble a squad capable of achieving promotion.
While there have been plenty of additions to the squad, there have been 18 names linked with a move to Fratton Park.
With so many names reportedly on the Blues’ radar, we’ve taken a look at every name tipped with a switch and their current situations.
Here’s what we found.
5. Ethan Chislett
At the start of June, Football Insider claimed the Blues were interested in the 24-year-old AFC Wimbledon talent along with Bolton. No sooner the reported interest was revealed, Pompey were then said to be out of the running for the South African, who has since made the move to Port Vale. Photo: Alex Davidson
6. Matt Macey
An impressive loan at PO4, which included 11 clean sheets, saw the Luton keeper emerge as a strong goalkeeping target for Pompey. However, a significant increase in wages following the Hatters’ promotion was the nail in the coffin for his return to Fratton Park this summer. Photo: Jason Brown
7. Dan Agyei
Darren Witcoop revealed Pompey were in the race, along with Bradford and Burton, for the striker with his future at Crewe uncertain. The Blues were quickly ruled out once again and the 26-year-old has since made a permanent switch to Leyton Orient. Photo: Pete Norton
8. Tommy Leigh
The Portsmouth-born talent has been a strong target for Mousinho, who is looking to add an attacking midfielder to his ranks. However, after Accrington slapped a £200,000 price-tag on the 22-year-old, the Blues have since cooled their interest and are ready to drop their pursuit in Leigh. Photo: George Wood
