3 Colby Bishop alternatives Portsmouth should consider as Blackpool edge closer to winning race for 25-year-old

Portsmouth have held an interest this summer in Accrington Stanley striker Colby Bishop, with a recent report from The News suggesting that Pompey were making progress in their pursuit.

Harry McKirdy 

The immediate future of Harry McKirdy is an interesting one, with the Swindon Town man certainly deserving of playing his football a level above. 

The versatile attacker, who was deployed as a striker and on both wings last time out, netted 19 times in 35 league appearances, adding a further eight assists.
