All the latest news on Portsmouth’s Championship rivals as the club prepares for the summer.
Following their promotion back to the Championship, Portsmouth will begin planning for the next season. Pompey’s return to the second tier has been a long time coming, and they will want to do their first season right, since the move up will not be simple.
John Mousinho’s team performed admirably last season, but they will need to improve in a number of areas to make the next step. As they prepare to do so, we’ve compiled all of the latest information about their new Championship competitors. Cooper on Leeds’ exit
Leeds United favourite Liam Cooper has all but cemented his exit from the club, with his contract about to expire, after the Whites advanced to the playoff final with a comfortable win over Norwich City on Thursday night. “As I have said many times previously, not only playing for Leeds, but captain of this amazing club is a huge honour,” Cooper stated following the match. “One that I never take for granted.” It has been a pleasure to lead this group of players this season, and I naturally want the campaign to end in the way that we all hope for.
Stoke are closing in on a deal
Stoke City are reportedly closing in on a deal to sign Rotherham United goalkeeper Viktor Johansson. Johansson is an appealing potential moving into this summer, having been one of the few bright spots on a Millers team that finished dead last in the second tier.
According to John Percy, Stoke are likely to sign the goalkeeper for roughly £1 million. According to reports, Johansson will have a physical on Friday before completing his move to the Bet365 Stadium.
