Summer Pompey target Morgan Whittaker is set to join Plymouth Argyle, according to reports.

The Swansea City front man is close to agreeing a season-long loan move to Home Park.

Whittaker is someone who’s interested Danny Cowley this summer, with the 21-year-old made available by the Championship side.

Cowley indicated he would only consider a permanent deal for the likes of the ex-Derby County man and team-mate Kyle Joseph, however.

With Whittaker still having three years to run on his contract after his £700,000 arrival last term, that would likely have been a hefty deal to complete.

It now appears Devon will be his temporary destination, with Wales Online reporting a move is close to completion.

Whittaker is reported to have held talks with Plymouth and another League One side, with the Steven Schumacher’s side said to have been considered a better fit for the player.
