Cambridge United and Lincoln City have both been named as potential destinations for the forward before the window closes this evening.

John Mousinho has arrived as manager at Fratton Park and is now looking to make any changes to his squad that he can ahead of tonight’s 11pm deadline.

That could include the departure of Hackett-Fairchild, who has featured as a squad player for the League One side this season.

Hackett-Fairchild has made 22 appearances in the third tier, with only five of those coming as a starting berth.

ADAM WEBSTER

NEWCASTLE BRIGHTON

The player has been with Pompey since 2020, signing from Bromley where he also enjoyed a stint back on loan at the club in 2020, as well as a stint at Southend United in 2021.

Portsmouth have fallen to 11th in the table in recent weeks, with recent form causing the club to opt for a change in manager.

The Verdict

Hackett-Fairchild has been included in the side in recent weeks, so his departure would have an impact on the squad.

But if the club can raise funds in order to aid their other deadline day business then that may be considered worthwhile.

The forward has never quite been able to establish himself as a key presence in the side, settling for squad player status.
