Thirteen players have now been linked with Pompey ahead of the transfer window.

This week alone, three names have been tipped with a switch to Fratton Park as speculation continues to increase ahead of the summer.

The Blues are expected to be busy in the market, with 9-10 new faces set to arrive through the doors at PO4.

That will be part of John Mousinho’s squad overhaul as he looks to build his promotion-contending side.

With so many names already reportedly on Pompey’s radar, we’ve taken a look at every name who has been linked with a switch ahead of the window, which opens next week, and their current situations.

That will be part of John Mousinho’s squad overhaul as he looks to build his promotion-contending side.

According to the Daily Mail in April, Pompey were one of four EFL sides chasing the Irish striker, who is valued at £300,000 by Larne. Following the reports, however, Mousinho was quick to rule out a move - stating he was unaware of the 17-goal front man.
