Allan seals Pompey loan

The Scottish midfielder enjoyed a successful loan spell with the Blues last term, making 15 appearances and scoring one goal between February and April.

But after failing to force his way into West Brom’s first-team plans at the start of this term, the 20-year-old has just finished a short loan spell at Pompey’s League One rivals MK Dons.

While he struggled to get a starting berth with the Dons, he knows Blues boss Michael Appleton well from their time together at the Hawthorns.

Allan certainly made an impact for the Blues last term and will be welcomed back with open arms by Pompey fans as he goes straight into the squad for tonight’s League One clash at Sheffield United.
