Pompey are closing in on a permanent deal for Sean Raggett.

Negotiations with the defender have gathered pace this week – and an agreement to see the free agent’s return to Fratton Park could be sealed over the weekend.

It will represent the Blues’ first piece of business in the summer transfer window, which opened on Tuesday.

Talks continue over extending Lee Brown’s stay, with the News understanding that that particular deal it is 70 per cent done. – despite interest from Hull, Wycombe and Rotherham.

However, it appears Pompey will get Raggett to put pen to paper first, with talks now at an advanced stage.

The central defender proved a key figure in the Blues’ failed pursuit of promotion last season, featuring on 38 occasions during a season-long loan from Norwich.

His move proved to be a slow-burner at first, but the 26-year-old soon established himself as first-choice alongside Christian Burgess in the heart of the Pompey backline.
