Thomas Waddingham transfer: Portsmouth seal agreement for signing
Portsmouth have an agreement in place to sign Brisbane Roar striker Thomas Waddingham, according to Mike McGrath.
The Telegraph journalist reports on X (14 January) that the highly-rated 19-year-old is set for a move to Fratton Park before the 3 February deadline.
John Mousinho has already moved quickly to sign Rob Atkinson and Isaac Hayden on loan this month, with another deal now on the way.
Portsmouth agree Thomas Waddingham transfer
With Elias Sorensen already moving on and Sammy Silvera returning to Middlesbrough, attacking space has opened in the squad.
Neither were first-team regulars at Fratton Park, but the money made available from their exits has allowed Mousinho to make his move.
Queens Park Rangers and Sheffield Wednesday had also made earlier bids to sign Waddingham, so winning this race would be an impressive coup (The News).
Colby Bishop has returned with relative success over the past couple of months, but adding another pair of legs would be a massive help for the number nine.
Pompey are now entering a crucial period, with their games in hand against Blackburn and Millwall coming up in the next two weeks.
The addition of Waddingham could help with crucial points to stay in the Championship, worth whatever money they could be made to pay.
This could now move very quickly.
