Pompey have been linked with a move for Chelsea winger Ryan Kavuma-McQueen.
Chelsea fans have told the Fratton faithful on social media what they can expected from reported Pompey target Ryan Kavuma-McQueen.
The Blues are believed to be in ‘advanced talks’ with the highly-rated 17-year-old, who has one senior appearance to his name at Stamford Bridge.
The Chelsea Spot, a respected Chelsea fan account who report exclusive academy updates and are followed by international transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, claimed on Sunday that John Mousinho’s men are closing in on the winger after fending off interest from League One and fellow Championship sides.

It was suggested the Premier League outfit were exploring potential loan options for Kavuma-McQueen as they look to further his development.
The England youth international is apparently close to making the temporary move on a season-long agreement.
The exciting forward has risen through the ranks in south London and has impressed at both U18 and U21 levels at Stamford Bridge.
Despite being just 17-years-old, Kavuma-McQueen was fast-tracked to Chelsea’s U21s last term and was a shinning light in their Premier League 2 campaign.
The reported Pompey target netted 13 goals and collected four assists in all competitions and also excelled at youth international level with England - scoring eight goals in six appearances for the U17s.
With the Blues said to be advancing in a loan move for the attacking talent, Chelsea fans have taken to social media to share their thoughts on the switch and told the Fratton faithful what they can expect from the winger.

Chelsea verdict on reported Pompey target Ryan Kavuma-McQueen
@Eugeneforever_: Top 3 U18 talents at Cobham at the moment. He is that good.
@Headleshorsman2: He has a really good eye for goal and can pass quite well as well but isn’t the best dribbler though so he is more of a final actions kind of player, think he will cook for you lot though.
@CFC_MC17: Great player just will take a while to adjust probably gonna get pushed off the ball easily at the start.
@Ultimatepman: These kids are all good. But they need development. They cannot be guaranteed regular football at Chelsea, so their best option is to develop elsewhere.

@cfcFAH: Finally a decent loan move for an academy player.
@faraday_himself: In my opinion, it'd be safer to go to a club in League One like with Walsh, but if he managed to play in the Championship at that age, it'd be the perfect summary of his quality.
@_cfc20: Oh wowwww yesss this is top. John Mousinho is top.
@tomcoley49: Like this and Walsh in the EFL a lot. Both very young but too good for PL2 already. Let them get exposure to adult football early. Give them a chance to get used to the pressure and rhythms of a Championship/League One season and feeling with men.
@cfcriley2: Portsmouth fans could have an exciting Chelsea prospect on their hands for this upcoming season. Good luck Ryan Kavuma-McQueen. We know you'll smash it!
@GeorgeSlatcher: ONE OF THE ONES I SAID… LLEETTSS GOOOOOOO! By the way I understand there’s not many that will of heard of this bloke, but he’s one of the best youngsters in the youth premier league! He’s absolutely IINNSSSANNEE! What a pick up this will be Pompey.
@CfcLex: Thats a phenomenal loan move for him.
JnR@CFCJnR: I think Ryan Kavuma-McQueen is the Cobham boy who needed the loan move the most. Super talented, but very raw at the same time, season of men's footy will do so much for him.
