Paul Cook says Pompey want to recruit good players, not sell them, as interest grows in young defender Adam Webster.
The 21-year-old's form this season has made scouts from higher-level clubs sit up and take notice but Pompey have no plans to cash in.
Cook told The News: 'Adam is a great kid and is having a fantastic year. The best thing about him, Christian Burgess and Matt Clarke is they will only get better and stronger with experience as they get older.
‘Great credit to them, they are so refreshing as players — and Adam is having a really outstanding season. Of course there is going to be interest in him, if there’s not it is a crime against scouting and recruitment.
‘To be fair to the club, it is not looking to sell anyone. The club is not looking to do anything other than make us a stronger club and be better. We don’t want to lose any players, we want to add to what we have got.'
Pompey are gearing up for what appears another must-win home game, with lowly Notts County heading to Fratton on Good Friday afternoon for new boss Mark Cooper's first match in charge.
