The highly-regarded goalkeeper is having a medical today ahead of arriving at Fratton Park on a season-long loan.

Hide AdGriffiths has been Cowley’s prime goalkeeping target this summer following Gavin Bazunu’s return to parent club Manchester City.
The 20-year-old featured 35 times for Lincoln last season, following a productive loan spell with Cheltenham in 2020-21.
That Whaddon Road form saw Griffiths emerge as a target for Cowley last summer, only to instead secure the loan services of Bazunu.
Now the Blues’ head coach has finally got his man, filling a crucial team vacancy.

Hide AdGriffiths will join Marlon Pack, Zak Swanson and Joe Rafferty as summer captures by Pompey.
Yet the strike force remains a glaring problem, with no senior forwards on Pompey’s books ahead of the July 30 kick-off.
