Transfer Rumours Summer Transfers 2018

He has signed a three year contract with Wigan. I can only see him being mainly on the subs bench, much like Gary Roberts and Noel Hunt last season.

Good luck to him though

Apparently, #Pompey have offered a contract to Clayton Donaldson, who is a free agent after leaving Sheffield United, according to Unofficial Pompey.

He is a 6' 1" Jamaican international striker, 34 years of age, but the kind of player who could do well in Division 1.

 

Excellent news Definitely a brilliant prospect to my mind, at either right back, or defensive midfield.

 

He played really well against us at Fratton Park last season. Would be good as number two keeper to Luke McGee.

 

League One Portsmouth have signed goalkeeper Craig MacGillivray on a two-year deal after he turned down a new contract at rivals Shrewsbury.

MacGillivray made 14 appearances in all competitions last season after joining Shrewsbury from Walsall.

The 25-year-old was offered a new two-year deal by the League One play-off finalists, but will instead join Pompey when his contract expires on 1 July.

Meanwhile, Pompey midfielder Adam May has signed a new two-year contract.

"Craig will provide good competition for (goalkeeper) Luke McGee," boss Kenny Jackett said.

"He has been slightly unlucky in the past to be behind some top keepers, but he's ready for the opportunity."

May, 20, is an academy graduate who made his senior debut aged just 17 in 2015. He has gone on to make 25 appearances.

"The gaffer is a really impressive manager with experience at a higher level, so it means a lot that he's put his trust in me," he said.

Portsmouth have agreed the signing of versatile Burton Albion player Tom Naylor on a three-year contract.

The 26-year-old, who can play in defence or midfield, will sign on 1 July when his Brewers deal expires.

Naylor signed for Burton in 2015 following a loan spell and has played 134 games, scoring 13 goals.

Manager Kenny Jackett said Naylor was a "ball-winner" who can fill a number of roles but has "primarily been brought in as a defensive midfielder".

"It strengthens the spine of our side, while he also brings us recent Championship experience," Jackett added.

Naylor, who played 33 games for Burton as they were relegated from the Championship last season, began his career at Mansfield Town before joining Derby County. At 6' 2", and able to play as a centre half, right back, or central midfield, he will be a valuable addition to the Pompey squad.

Pompey are showing interest in Peterborough United midfielder Anthony Grant, according to the club's director of football. Barry Fry told the Peterborough Telegraph that the Blues are one of several clubs tracking the 31-year-old. Blackpool, Shrewsbury and Lincoln also reportedly have Grant on their radar. Fry revealed the Posh have given the London-born talent permission to speak to a club, although a fee has yet to be agreed. The director of football said: 'Numerous clubs have shown an interest in him including Lincoln, Shrewsbury, Portsmouth and Blackpool.

'Anthony has been given permission to speak to a club without a fee yet being agreed.' Grant made 48 appearances for the Posh last season, helping them to a ninth-place finish in League One.

Grant has also represented Southend United, Stevenage, Crewe and Port Vale during his career. He has a year left on his Peterborough contract after moving to London Road for a six-figure fee in January 2017.

Pompey are reported to be closing in on landing Newcastle talent Sean Longstaff. The Blues are set to bring in the 20 year old attacking midfielder on a six-month loan from the Premier League outfit, according to the Newcastle Chronicle.

The 20-year-old is said to be wanted by a clutch of Championship sides, including new boys Rotherham. Longstaff scored nine goals last season while on loan with Blackpool in League One, and spent the previous campaign in the SPL with Kilmarnock.

 

Apparently, ex-Pompey centre half 23 year old Adam Webster could be on his way from Ipswich Town to Bristol City for a fee in the region of £3.5 million. City have just sold Aiden Flint to Middlesborough for circa. £7 million.

If the move goes ahead, Pompey are in line for a windfall of some £850,000, being a percentage of the sell on fee clause that our excellent Chief Executive Mark Catlin had the foresight to insert into the sales contract.

Hopefully, a decent amount of money for the club to reinvest in new signings !!

Happy days
