The summer transfer window closed on Tuesday (10 June) and won’t be open again until next Monday (16 June).

However, that hasn’t put a stop to the speculation about who Portsmouth could sign once the window opens again.

Former Pompey target Antony Evans told he’s free to find a new club

Mousinho had shown interest in bringing Antony Evans to Portsmouth last summer.

While it’s not clear how close Pompey were to making a deal, Evans ultimately decided to join Huddersfield Town instead.

However, reports suggest that new Huddersfield boss Lee Grant isn’t a fan of the midfielder and has told him he’s free to leave the club.

That could open the door for the Blues to land Evans on a cut-price deal this summer.
