The likes of Reading and Dutch top-flight side Volendam were headed off, as Anjorin chose Fratton Park as his destination.

The Poole-born player is coming back from injury issues with his eye on first building his resolve after a number of different problems, most recently suffering from an ankle issue which required surgery.

But Anjorin feels his natural game is one which has the potential to delight his new side’s fanbase.

And the England age-group international can’t wait to show the Pompey faithful exactly what he can do.

Anjorin said: ‘I like to go past players and I like to beat players.

‘That could be with a simple body feint, stepover or anything - flicks here or there, things like that.

‘I feel like the opposition don’t know what I’m doing and that aspect makes things easier.

‘If they are thinking about body feints I can just literally run. It keeps them thinking.

‘Getting people on their feet is definitely something I like to do - I love it.

‘That is something I just thrive off. It’s how I play, it’s literally just how I play - I can’t wait to show that.’
