Portsmouth ‘have Sam Greenwood opportunity’ after Leeds transfer call

Portsmouth must reinforce after avoiding Championship relegation, and Leeds United attacker Sam Greenwood could potentially be an option.

The Hampshire outfit rallied in the second half of the season to win enough points to survive an immediate drop to League One.

John Mousinho’s team had a nervous ending in the Championship, but retained their place in the English second division with two games to spare.

Fratton Park rejoiced against Hull City on the final day of the regular season after the 1-1 draw, with the Tigers also just about managing to avoid the drop.

Mousinho needs transfer reinforcements at Portsmouth

Pompey’s transfer business in the winter transfer window undoubtedly helped them avoid relegation to League One.

It shows the importance of investing in the team, and the Hampshire outfit need to do so again next summer to establish themselves in the Championship.

With the right tools, Mousinho can arguably ensure Fratton Park doesn’t have to worry about survival in the upcoming campaign.

The attacking areas will need more quality, and Greenwood’s transfer from Leeds would evidently make sense after what he’s done on loan at Preston North End.

Greenwood may be needed at Fratton Park as Leeds United make transfer call

Josh Murphy has exceeded expectations at Fratton Park, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see teams vying for his signature soon.

Colby Bishop has also been reliable for Pompey, and big things should be expected from him in the upcoming campaign.

Callum Lang has been the other standout star at the Hampshire outfit in recent months, giving them much-needed attacking impetus to survive.

Greenwood could potentially be another quality addition at Portsmouth, with Leeds open to his exit in the upcoming transfer window, according to TEAMtalk.

The news outlet reports (5 May) that the Whites are willing to listen to offers for the 23-year-old next summer, which should be something the Hampshire outfit think about.

Greenwood spent the 2024/25 season on loan at Preston North End, helping the Lancashire outfit in their quest for survival.

The Englishman has been a versatile outlet for his managers over the years, playing as a striker and deep in the midfield during his time at Deepdale Stadium.

With Freddie Potts’ loan from West Ham United expiring, Pompey evidently need to strengthen their engine room, and Greenwood may provide solutions for multiple positions at Fratton Park.
