What does Portsmouth manager John Mousinho think about the deal?
Portsmouth manager John Mousinho appears delighted with the latest addition to Pompey’s squad.
“Harvey is a fantastic young player who has come through the Liverpool Academy and shown enormous potential.” The 38-year-old said this via the club’s official website.
“He has been actively involved with the first team during pre-season and has shown tremendous talent and promise.
“I think he is the type of player we all expect to see at Fratton Park and as a future prospect, we believe he can make an impact on the team now.”
The striker first came to prominence under Jurgen Klopp but, despite featuring in the team’s pre-season tour of the United States, he looked an underachiever under Arne Slot.
We wish Harvey the best of luck in his future endeavors on the South Coast.
Is this the end of the exit?
According to Chris Bascombe: The TelegraphUnfortunately, that is not the case.
Stefan Vajcetic is reportedly very likely to be the next to leave the team.
Ane Slot says Joe Gomez – who has been linked with a move away from the club recently – is likely to remain at the club a week before the summer transfer deadline.
