Portsmouth began their 2021/22 campaign with a 1-0 victory away to Fleetwood Town, with Lee Brown's strike on the hour mark proving the difference.

Despite the season getting underway, it seems that Danny Cowley wants to engage in more transfer business before the end of August deadline, with rumours now intensifying in regard to the south coast club's interest in Luton Town midfielder Joe Morrell.

The Wales international was left out of Luton's squad during their 3-0 win over Peterborough United on Saturday, before The News reported on Sunday that Cowley's men are closing in on a deal for the 24-year-old.

Morrell heavily featured during Wales' 2020 Euro campaign but found first-team opportunities hard to come by for The Hatters last season.

The midfielder played a mere 450 minutes of football for Luton during the 2020/21 campaign, with his move from Bristol City not working entirely as planned.

The technically-gifted midfielder has been linked with a move to Portsmouth throughout this transfer window, however, his desire to remain in the second-tier has been a stumbling block in the League One club's pursuit.
