Portsmouth are expected to be busy during the January transfer window.
There was always a feeling the January transfer window was going to play an integral role in Portsmouth’s season - and their current position in the lower reaches of the Championship table means there is a need to strengthen John Mousinho’s squad in the first month of the new year.
There were high hopes Pompey could build on a solid first season back in the Championship last season by enjoying a progressive summer transfer window. The likes of Josh Knight, Adrian Segecic and Mark Kosznovszky all arrived ahead of the new season but their arrivals have failed to help Mousinho’s men find any consistency during the first half of the season.
Speculation over who could arrive and who could depart Fratton Park during the January transfer window has been making headlines over the last two months and it seems certain Pompey will have to be active in the market as they look to navigate their way away from the relegation zone over the second half of the season. But what business could take place over the first month of the new year?
