Portsmouth are poised to sign Dundee's Luke Graham, with the club leading the race ahead of Rangers and Derby County.
What's the latest on the transfer?
The 22-year-old center-back has been a target for several Championship clubs, but Portsmouth are in pole position to secure his signature.
John Mousinho's side have been quiet in the transfer market so far, but the signing of Graham would be a significant boost to their defense.
Why is Graham a key target?
Graham has risen through the ranks at Dundee, making 40 appearances in all competitions last season and showcasing his ability as a confident ball-playing defender.

| Goals this season | 49 scored, 64 conceded (-15 goal difference) |
| Recent form | 2W-2D-1L (DDWWL, most recent first) |
What does the future hold for Portsmouth?
With the Championship stacked full of big clubs next term, Portsmouth know they must get their recruitment spot on. The club are looking to build on their impressive end to the campaign, which saw them avoid relegation by four points.
Portsmouth's next fixture is against Aldershot Town on July 15, 2026. The club will be looking to start the new season strongly, and the signing of Graham would be a major step in the right direction.
Who is Luke Graham?
Graham has been praised by his manager, Steven Pressley, who said: "Some of his performances, and I mean this, have been incredible over the last two or three months."
The young defender is about to enter the final year of his contract and was recognized among his peers by receiving the Players' Player of the Season award for the Dark Blues.
Given what he has already achieved at such a young age, it is no wonder that so many clubs are eyeing the center-back this summer. Portsmouth will be hoping to complete the signing of Graham soon, and the player's arrival would be a major boost to the club's chances of success in the upcoming season.
