Portsmouth swoop for ex-Birmingham, Crystal Palace and Blackpool man as they unveil third January signing

The 30-year-old has signed an 18-month deal at Fratton Park

Pompey have made Keshi Anderson their third signing of the January window.

The winger was a free agent following his release from Birmingham, with John Mousinho telling The News the 30-year-old was on their radar.

Now the Blues have moved to sign the former Crystal Palace man on a deal until the summer of 2027 to bolster their attacking options.

Anderson joins Millenic Alli and Ebou Adams in moving to Fratton Park in the transfer window, although it remains to be seen whether he is available for tomorrow’s trip to Watford.

Mousinho had been eager to recruit another winger with Callum Lang, Josh Murphy, Florian Bianchini, Harvey Blair and Franco Umeh all sidelined by injury, while Minhyeok Yang was recalled by Spurs.

Anderson fits the bill, having featured 19 times for Birmingham this season, while scoring against Pompey in November.

The League One title-winner last week left St Andrew’s by mutual consent, rendering him a free agent - with Pompey subsequently snapping him up on an 18-month deal.

He has also seen service with Crystal Palace, Doncaster, Bolton, Northampton, Swindon and Blackpool.
