The 14 most expensive signings made by Portsmouth as Fratton faithful wait on 2024 summer transfer window to burst into life

The Fratton faithful have already seen Jordan Williams added to the club’s ranks after the Barnsley defender moved on a free transfer to sign a three-year deal.

But they’ll be desperate for more transfer activity as the Blues gear themselves up for a Championship return.
