Portsmouth set for transfer announcement at Fratton Park
Portsmouth are set for transfer announcements at Fratton Park after surviving relegation from the Championship.
John Mousinho’s team were favourites to go down to League One after a poor start to the season, but the Hampshire outfit rallied in the second half of the campaign to finish 16th in the table.
The Fratton Park faithful will now want Pompey to reinforce their squad ahead of the upcoming transfer window and build a team capable of sustaining the rigours of English football’s second division.
Apart from incomings, there could potentially be players who will leave in the coming weeks, which will be revealed soon.

Mousinho will want key players to stay at Fratton Park after surviving immediate relegation to League One.
Pompey were in their mini-league in the Championship in the final weeks of the regular season, with several teams close to each other towards the bottom of the table.
The Hampshire outfit will want the likes of Freddie Potts and Rob Atkinson to stay after their impressive loan spells, but what the future holds for them remains to be seen.
Portsmouth also need to make a decision on Andre Dozzelle, Kusinin Yengi and Zak Swanson, whose contracts expire soon, but there is an option to extend their stays for another year.
Alexander Milosevic brought leadership qualities to the Hampshire outfit, but it would be surprising to see the English manager keep him for next season, as the centre-back hardly played.
Isaac Hayden is someone who could potentially be a realistic opportunity for Pompey in the upcoming transfer window.
