I don’t know much about the player, but his statistics for the 2022/23 season were extremely impressive. He is likely to thrive in League One, if he was to make that switch into the third tier.
Similarly, Portsmouth will need to strengthen their attacking options next season, in order to get themselves back into play-off contention, following a difficult 2022/23 campaign for the club.
