Pompey have the chance to bolster their ranks this winter ahead of the second-half of the season. The new window opens next month.
John Mousinho’s side were promoted from League One in the last campaign after winning the title. They ended up going up along with Derby County and Oxford United.
It has been a tough period adapting to life in the Championship and they are in the bottom three along with QPR and Hull City.
Pompey have a few injury issues to deal with in defence and have leaked goals so far this term. With that in mind, we asked ChatGPT “What defenders should Championship side Portsmouth sign during the 2025 January transfer window?”...
