The transfer of Conor Chaplin to Portsmouth has reportedly reached a breakthrough stage after Ipswich gave the green light to the move and accepted a formal offer. While personal terms and contract length are yet to be agreed - it is looking increasingly likely that the interested team is about to get one of their top transfer targets signed and sealed. The transfer remains in progress, and with no other clubs involved, Portsmouth look to be negotiating from a comfortable position. In season 25/26, Portsmouth are only scoring 0.88 goals per game (7 in 8), below the Championship average. Conor Chaplin would be brought in to give them more bite in the final third. Ipswich have recently been linked with Sindre Walle Egeli, Darnell Furlong and Marcelino Nunez while Portsmouth have had no rumoured targets. Need more Portsmouth transfer rumours?
