The transfer scrum for man admired by Portsmouth - as Hull City, Norwich City, Coventry City & Co circle
He’s been considered by John Mousinho in the past and is now attracting a swathe of interest from Championship and promoted Premier League clubs, according to reports.
He’s a man John Mousinho has cast admiring eyes towards in his time at Fratton Park.
But Bournemouth’s Daniel Jebbison never made the trip along the south coast in the final reckoning, as the Canada international learned his trade with two Championship loans over the past couple of years.
Pompey-admired striker generating Championship and Premier League interest
Watford and Preston North End were the sides to seal temporary deals for the 22-year-old, who moved to the Cherries in 2024 - as they paid Sheffield United £1.5m in compensation for the 6ft 3in front man.
Now Jebbison is creating plenty of transfer noise this summer, according to reports, with a scrum of clubs reportedly on his trail this summer - according to TEAMtalk.
New Premier League trio Coventry, City, Ipswich Town and Hull City are said to among his suitors, with the likes of Pompey’s Championship rivals Middlesbrough, Birmingham City, Norwich City and Blackburn Rovers.
Jebbison spent last season on loan at Presto North End, bagging six goals in 42 appearances at Deepdale - with 24 of those outings coming as starts.
The former Burton Albion loanee had a tougher stint with Watford in the 2024-25 campaign, failing to return a finish from 13 outings.
Jebbison’s stay at Vicarage Road was cut short in January, with the centre-forward going on to make 18 Cherries appearances and score three goals - including one against Manchester City.
Pompey are in the market for a new striker this summer, with a Championship-ready option who can compete with Colby Bishop required.
The News has reported the Blues are admirers of Plymouth Argyle striker Aribim Pepple, who hit 18 goals last season at Home Park - with 15 arriving since the turn of the year.
In terms of Jebbison, Mousinho touched on his interest in the striker two years ago after his Bournemouth move.
With a loan agreement the conduit to such deals at the time, the Pompey boss explained any move for a player like Jebbison would likely have happened late in the window.
Mousinho said: ‘Daniel has gone from Sheffield United to Bournemouth for a fair amount of money. I suspect that he will be involved in Bournemouth’s squad come the opening day of the season.
‘We’ve spoken this summer about what it looks like with those Premier League clubs and not many of those 21s have moved yet.
‘A lot of that is because of the Euros, a lot of it is because Premier League clubs have looked at it and there’s not been a huge amount of movement at the top level in terms of player transfers.
'So a lot of these players are going to get a chance as we get into the Premier League season.
‘I think it’s going to be one where it gets late in the window for Premier League clubs to actually decide if they are going to move some of the youngsters on.’
