The forward remains the only out of contract player yet to agree terms with the Blues, after Sean Raggett, Reeco Hackett and Michael Jacobs committed their futures to PO4.
Trio Callum Johnson, Ollie Webber and Paul Downing were not offered fresh terms and also remain without a club, while Shaun Williams has since joined Gillingham.
But with the vast majority of EFL clubs now back for pre-season training, who are the most recognisable free agents still on the lookout for future employers?
We’ve taken a look at the 20 biggest names from the Championship and League One who are yet to find a home.
Here’s what we found.
13. Tom Eaves
Eaves was linked with a move to Pompey on deadline day last summer but those claims were quickly dismissed. The 30-year-old striker netted just five goals for Hull last season. Rumours suggest he could make a return to League One with Charlton. Photo: LINDSEY PARNABY
14. Jodi Jones
It was an emotional farewell for the midfielder, who departed Coventry at the end of the campaign. Despite playing just 239 minutes of football in four years, the 24-year-old is on the lookout for a new club after an injury hit career at Coventry. Like many others, Jones is yet to receive interest in his services. Photo: Pete Norton
15. Gavin Massey
Massey’s five-year stay at the DW Stadium came to a close at the end of the season following Wigan’s promotion to the Championship. The striker was linked with a move to Fratton Park in 2019 but despite being an attractive proposition this summer, Blues boss Danny Cowley has ruled Pompey out of a swoop this window.

16. Romaine Sawyers
Sawyers has been described as one of the best midfielders in the Championship, with many branding his departure a massive mistake by Steve Bruce. The 30-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at Stoke and, following his West Browm exit, the Potters are said to be on red alert to acquire his services. Photo: Pool
