Danny Cowley has confirmed that he’d like another stopper to arrive at Fratton Park to challenge for the No1 spot, along with a fledgling talent to also come in.
As things stand, Alex Bass is the only keeper under contract at the Blues.
Craig MacGillivray looks highly likely to depart after Pompey decided not to take up the option of an additional year in his deal because of financial reasons.
That’s despite the Scot being awarded The News/ Sports Mail Player of the Season award.
Meanwhile, Duncan Turnbull and Taylor Seymour were both let go after making just one outing each in the EFL Trophy.
West Brom’s Josh Griffiths is one player on the shopping list. The 19-year-old impressed on loan for League Two champions Cheltenham this term.
But should Cowley want a more experienced recruit to challenge Bass, 23, for the No1 jersey next term, there are several free agents available.
Here’s a look at some of them..
5. Mark Oxley
Southend's captain has a decision on his hand. Oxley's been offered fresh terms at Roots Hall but that would mean dropping to non-league. The former Hull man may want guaranteed football, however. Photo: Jacques Feeney
6. Stephen Henderson
Could we see the Irishman back for a third spell? Henderson returned to Fratton Park on loan in January 2018 but suffered a season-ending injury just 85 minutes into his second debut. He's out of contract at Crystal Palace this summer. Photo: Jack Thomas
7. Remi Matthews
The former Bolton man has served as second choice during Sunderland promotion push this season and his contract will some come to an end. Photo: Charlotte Tattersall
8. Owen Evans
The keeper impressed on loan at Cheltenham in 2019-20, helping them get into the play-offs. However, he has been restricted to just five outings for Wigan this term. Evans is out of contract but may be seeking regular minutes as the age of 24. Photo: Pete Norton
