Joe Gallen has reassured Pompey fans that the new management team have a number of potential new siginings in their sights.

He was leading the hunt for new recruits during a period when Kenny Jackett was away and now the pair are working together to fill the gaps in the squad.

But Gallen declined to make any wild promises over how many players Pompey would sign, or when.

Gallen told The News: 'While Kenny has been away, I’ve been watching previous games, assessing the players we have got here and looking at new recruits. That takes a lot of time and there have been a lot of phone calls.

‘We are looking for players where is it obvious we need new people. I’m pretty excited by the names that we have been talking to. Everything will depend on how it goes over the next few weeks.

‘We’ve got a couple of things going on but I don’t want to give a time frame because from past experience it makes us look like fools.’
