Portsmouth set to unveil Rochdale's Andy Cannon


Kenny Jackett is determined to carry out his squad strengthening as swiftly as possible, mirroring the club's highly-successful approach during the summer.
That policy has this week seen a deal agreed for midfielder Cannon, reportedly worth around £150,000.

Cannon, a midfielder, has made 127 appearances and scored six times since emerging through Rochdale's youth set-up.
He also appeared as a 55th-minute substitute in their FA Cup encounter with Pompey earlier this month.
The 22-year-old, who has started four League One games this season, made his most recent outing on December 15, coming off the bench in a 2-1 home defeat to Plymouth.
Cannon was not included in Rochdale's squad for Saturday's trip to Southend, which saw Keith Hill's men claim a 2-1 victory.
