John Mousinho is diligently preparing Portsmouth for their 2024-25 Championship season opener against Leeds United on August 10.
He has strengthened the team with new signings Josh Murphy and Jordan Williams, who joined from Oxford United and Barnsley respectively.
Mousinho’s careful approach to transfers, focusing on depth and quality without overspending, shows his confidence in the core team that achieved promotion.
Fans are hopeful for a busy end to the transfer window, with potential key signings giving Portsmouth an edge in the competitive Championship.
Here are three developments that could have supporters in high spirits this August:
1. Anthony Scully’s Departure: Winger Anthony Scully, who struggled with a knee injury last season, has been told he can leave the club.
Mousinho’s management of the situation has been praised, as it maintains harmony within the squad and allows time to negotiate a beneficial deal.
2. Re-signing Alex Robertson or Abu Kamara: Fans are eager for the return of either Alex Robertson from Manchester City or Abu Kamara from Norwich City, both of whom were instrumental in last season’s success.
Although other clubs are interested, securing either player would be a significant achievement.
3. Signing Jamal Baptiste: Portsmouth is in talks to bring back center-back Jamal Baptiste, a free agent who was on trial with the team earlier.
With a shortage in the center-back position following Sean Raggett’s departure, Baptiste’s signing would bolster the defense and strengthen the squad for the upcoming season.
If these moves are finalized, Portsmouth supporters will have plenty to cheer about as the new season begins.
