The Blues winger is set to depart Fratton Park - and free up much-needed space in Danny Cowley’s budget.

Hide AdThe East Anglian Daily Times this morning have reported a deal is in place for the man who has a year remaining on his contract.
Jacobs’ time at PO4 has been hampered by injury and he made his return in the warm-up against Luton Town last month, after damaging knee ligaments in April.
The former Wigan man was given a cameo in the win against Peterborough last weekend, and has appeared in Pompey XI outings against Chelsea under-23s and Bournemouth under-21s alongside a host of triallists.
Jacobs spent time deep in conversation with chief executive Andy Cullen after the 1-0 win at the Canford Park Arena on Tuesday.
