Portsmouth aim to strengthen squad during upcoming summer transfer window
Summary

Portsmouth is preparing for the summer transfer window with a focus on strengthening their squad. Last summer, the club successfully built a team that achieved promotion from League One, but recent transfer strategies have yielded mixed results. To improve, Portsmouth must resolve the futures of key players, including Zak Swanson and Connor Ogilvie, while also addressing potential departures, such as player of the season Terry Devlin. Additionally, the club seeks to fill critical positions, including a right-winger and a reliable striker. The retention of head coach John Mousinho appears to be a priority amid growing interest in his services.
