The list of names being linked with Pompey this season has reached phone directory proportions. Here The News breaks down the names who’ve emerged and provides a lowdown on the chances of seeing them in royal blue next season.

Jordan Willis

Highly-touted defender who Pompey have kept a close eye on, but the Championship looks to be the destination for the Coventry man. Luton are one of a number of clubs from the second tier said to be on his trail.

Tom Lockyer

One of the early names touted as a potential arrival. Spoke of his dilemma at moving to the bottom end of the Championship or a title-chasing League One side. The trail’s gone quiet of late but no suggestion of a favourite emerging for his services.

Viv Solomon-Otabor

Talk that he’d turned down a Pompey move was furiously denied by his father and the player himself. Kenny Jackett has repeatedly stated he’s a fan of his searing pace but it now appears the he’s now looking elsewhere at options out wide.

Has repeatedly been mentioned as a likely arrival. Doncaster boss Grant McCann stated the man he had on loan last season had been offered a ‘huge’ contract by a ‘particularly big’ League One side. Looks a strong possibility he could be arriving.

Ryan Pryce

Young Cardiff right-back was being touted as a potential recruit earlier in the summer, but James Bolton’s arrival as Nathan Thompson’s successor buries any notion of the 21-year-old arriving at Fratton Park this summer.

Striker spent the second half of the season on loan from Birmingham, scoring four goals. The 25-year-old has expressed a willingness to return to Fratton Park next season. Won’t come cheap in terms of wages, however, but stands to reason a return will be considered.

Bruno Andrade

A player known to Jackett after a period spent training with Pompey in 2017. Has seen his stock grow, with Aston Villa mentioned as a suitor before their promotion to the Premier League. More of an option out wide or as number 10 than the striker the Blues really need.

Conner Rennison

Pompey were mentioned as being among the throng of clubs keen on Hartlepool's teenage midfield star. Newcastle, Middlesbrough, Leeds, Bristol City and Hull and Barnsley are talked of as likely destinations, which suggests the Blues would do very well to tempt Rennison to the other end of the country.

Marc Pugh

Winger’s name has excited fans this summer and he is a player Jackett is interested in, along with a lot of others in wide areas. Pugh is a free agent at Bournemouth after a loan stay in the Championship last year. At 32, doesn’t fit the model of signing players with a resale value.

Connor Jennings

Winger is bound to have been flagged up by the recruitment team after a flying season in which he helped Tranmere reach League One. Coventry, Rotherham and Hibs are also reported to be keen on. Has a year left at Prenton Park so will command a fee.
