Portsmouth, who finished 18th in the Championship with 55 points, need to improve their attacking options.

What happened this season?

Their top scorer, Adrian Segicic, managed just 11 goals in the league, and main centre-forward Colby Bishop scored only three. John Mousinho, the manager, will be aware that he needs to boost his attacking ranks, especially with loan players Jacob Brown, Millenic Alli, and Gustavo Caballero returning to their parent clubs.

Why it matters for Portsmouth

The team's goal return of 49 scored and 64 conceded, with a -15 goal difference, was a major concern, and they cannot afford to slip back next season.

What comes next?

Delano Burgzorg, a 27-year-old Surinamese forward, could be the answer to their problems, having fallen out of favour at Middlesbrough under Kim Hellberg. | Category | Stat | | --- | --- | | League Standing | 18th | | Points | 55 | | Recent Form | DWLWW | Portsmouth's recent form has been decent, with two wins, two draws, and one loss in their last five games, but they need to improve their squad to progress next season. Their next fixture is against Aldershot Town on July 15, 2026, and they will be looking to start the new season on a positive note.
