10 player exits Portsmouth could sanction in January transfer window in bid to rehape squad for Championship survival battle

After a huge turnover of players in the summer, the last thing Pompey want in January is a similarly busy transfer window.

But with the Blues stuck in the Championship relegation zone with 12 points from their 15 games played to date, they might have no choice!

Recent performances and Saturday’s 3-1 defeat of fellow strugglers Preston North End might take the temperature down on the need for sweeping changes. But it won’t stop head coach John Mousinho and sporting director Rich Hughes heading into January wanting new additions to bolster Pompey’s chances of climbing out of the bottom three and to a position of safety.

We’ve reassuringly been told there’s money available to do so. However, with Pompey already having a squad that exceeds the 25-man league limit and there being a natural desire to improve what they’ve currenty got, there’s a real possibility that exits could be a key feature of the forthcoming transfer window.

Such departures would also provide an opportunity to free up extra cash - which is always helpful when clubs are faced with inflated prices in the new year. But who realsticaly could find themselves elsewhere come the end of January?

We’ve had a look through the current Pompey ranks and there’s potentially up to 10 players who could be involved in some of the Blues’ transfer dealings in the weeks ahead.
