Romeo has an estimated market value of £1.8million, and is the highest-priced defender in the team.

The former Gillingham man made his Pompey debut in the 5-3 defeat to AFC Wimbledon, with his quality evident at Plough Lane.

The Antigua and Barbuda international flourishes in one v one duels, while also causing opposition defenders problems with his electric pace down the wing.

His versatility could also make him a prized asset for the Blues, as he can operate as both a traditional right-back or wing-back.

One of the biggest selection headaches that Blues boss Danny Cowley faces is between Romeo and Kieron Freeman, who has made a promising start to the season.

The dilemma that Cowley faces was apparent in the defeat to MK Dons, with the former Sheffield United player evidently frustrated when replaced by Romeo midway through the second half with the scoreline level.
