Portsmouth will want to try and push on next season in their bid for a promotion back to the Championship - but Danny Cowley has revealed to The News that he will need to look for 'value' when it comes to signing players this summer.
Pompey have not been blessed with vast amounts of riches but they have been able to get by on the deals they have been able to do so far over the last few seasons. It's helped them to continue to get near the top end of the League One table but they just haven't done quite enough to get that elusive promotion.
Cowley will be hoping he can do enough this summer to finally get them there - but again, he might not have too much money to work with when it comes to transfer dealings it appears.
There are plenty of diamonds in the rough to be found and plenty of shrewd, cheap moves that can be completed if you look in the right areas. That appears to be what Portsmouth will have to do yet again, with Cowley revealing to The News that when he is on the hunt for fresh faces, he will have to look for 'value' in his potential signings.
Speaking about it, he said: "I don’t think we want to talk about finance. For us, we’re clear on what the budget is and we are trying to find the very best value for the players that are available to us.
