So we’ve sorted the wheat from the chaff for you and the duds from the real window targets, as we explore every name linked with the Blues so far.
5. Callum Lang
Wigan man was linked with Pompey last week, but sporting director Rich Hughes immediately shot that one down and made it clear the attacker is not being looked at by the Blues at this stage. Photo: Bernard Platt
6. Ronan Hale
Cliftonville striker linked with the likes of Derby, Bolton, Blackpool and Pompey. Emphatically dealt with by Rich Hughes. 'No, we're not looking at Ronan Hale,' he said. Photo: Desmond LougheryPacemaker Press
7. Owen Moxon
Talented and powerful all-action central midfielder who's attracted plenty of admiring glances in his time with hometown club Carlisle. Contract is at a close next summer and wouldn't be any surprise if he's the type of prospect Pompey are keeping a close eye on. Whether Carlisle, fresh with takeover cash, would be prepared to let him go and whether Pompey want a little bit more going forward is open to debate. Photo: Jason Brown
8. John Swift
Mentioned a week or so ago and has been linked with a West Brom exit, as they face financial difficulties - but a massive, massive stretch to put any credibility on Pompey interest. Perhaps it's the 28-year-old midfielder being from Gosport, but realistially beyond the Blues' reach. Photo: Catherine Ivill
