Portsmouth are interested in signing Australian left-back Jacob Farrell but they are yet to get a deal over the line, according to the BBC.
John Mousinho is pushing to construct a squad that could survive in the Championship next season following earning promotion from League One.
The Portsmouth boss wants more defensive options in his squad and is keen to strengthen in the full-back areas.
Signing a left-back is believed to be one of the priorities and the club are looking at options Down Under.
Farrell has emerged as a target and the club are keen to take him to Fratton Park this summer.
Talks are under way between Portsmouth and Central Coast Mariners to take the defender to England.
The full-back is keen on the move but for the moment, no deal is in place between the two clubs for the transfer.
The newly promoted Championship club are pushing to find an agreement with Central Coast and secure the signature of Farrell.
