John Mousinho already has Colby Bishop in his attacking department, who will be looking to strengthen in the window.
At least two new front men have been outlined to arrive at Fratton Park by the head coach as he looks to prime his squad for the upcoming campaign.
With clubs in the Championship releasing their retained lists, there are plenty of attacking options now available for free.
We’ve taken a look at all the strikers who’ve been released from second-tier clubs and whether they could be an option for Pompey and their League One rivals.
5. Gary Madine - Blackpool
Madine is another Championship veteran featuring for clubs including Bolton, Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday. The 32-year-old could add a wealth of experience to a forward line having scored four goals last season. Photo: Clive Brunskill
6. Tyler Smith - Hull
The 24-year-old has plenty of League One experience, appearing for Doncaster and Bristol Rovers in his career. He scored three goals in the Championship for Hull during the first half of the campaign before a loan switch to Oxford United in January. He failed to score in seven games for the U’s.

7. Billy Chadwich - Hull
The Tigers academy product spent time on loan with Boston in the National League North last term, where he scored 11 goals in 20 appearances. Would a young talent at 23-years-old be the best acquisition for a promotion chasing side? Photo: Pool
8. Teemu Pukki - Norwich
Was picking up Premier League player of the month awards for the Canaries not so long ago but is now a free agent after calling time at Carrow Road. Another player who could still be looking to find a Championship move this summer aged 33. Photo: Paul Harding
