According to sources who spoke to TEAMtalk, Portsmouth is thinking about making a free transfer approach for former Leeds United captain Liam Cooper.
Cooper completed his Leeds contract earlier this summer, leaving him a free agent.
Leeds made a new one-year offer to Cooper, but the 32-year-old was demanding a lengthier contract, as TEAMtalk clarified.
Cooper has received attention from a number of teams, including Blackburn Rovers, however despite the start of the EFL season, the midfielder has not yet found a new team.
New guys in the championship Cooper is currently being considered for a move by Portsmouth, whose manager John Mousinho believes his leadership and experience will benefit his team.
Cooper would give their backline, which finished third in League One last season in terms of goals given up, greater seniority.
The four primary center-backs currently available to Mousinho have an average age of 25.
Ironically, Portsmouth’s return to the Championship began on Saturday against Cooper’s old team, Leeds.
Not like we have a full player like Archie Gray or Cree Summerville right now, with plenty of money to spend.
Due to the fact that we still have to make up for a few prior transgressions and ensure that we are in compliance with all financial regulations, clubs occasionally have to decide to sell a player.
We still have to deal with the fact that we did something improperly in the past and are currently paying the consequence.
We were rather frugal with our spending and disciplined over the previous season.
