It is understood the unnamed club have stepped up attempts to prise the winger, who scored 17 goals last season, away from Fratton Park.

Wigan and Millwall have been long-time suitors, with both clubs previously having £1.5m bids turned down for the former Hampton & Richmond Borough wide man.

The Blues value Lowe at £3m – and the latest approach is from one of those two clubs.

Pompey desperately want to retain Lowe, who can be a pivotal figure in their latest push for promotion from League One.

However, the 24-year-old has become unsettled at Fratton Park this summer in light of Championship interest.

The winger is keen to test himself at a higher level and has made his feelings known to the Blues’ hierarchy.

But he is under contract until the summer of 2020, with the club having an additional 12-month option.

Lowe scored in last night’s 11-0 demolition of UCD during a 45-minute outing.

Kenny Jackett’s side are currently in Dublin and will return to England on Friday ahead of Saturday’s pre-season friendly with the Hawks.
