Several teams have shown an interest at signing one of Pompey’s League One winning midfielders
According to former England player Carlton Palmer, Wrexham is the front-runner to recruit Pompey midfielder Joe Morrell, who is out of contract. At the end of the month, Morrell’s contract at Fratton Park ends, and he has not yet agreed to new terms. Pompey could have agreed to a one-year extension, but he chose not to and is still in talks for a new agreement with different conditions.
Given the uncertainty surrounding Morrell’s future, transfer rumors have been flying, with teams from the Championship and League One expressing interest. This season, Pompey’s competitors QPR, Birmingham City, and Wrexham are all fierce rivals.
The 18-time England international Carlon Palmer, who played for West Brom and Sheffield Wednesday, thinks the Welshman would be best served by picking Wrexham. Palmer believes that Morrell’s decision will be influenced by his desire to play regular football with the first team at this point in his career. Morrell is 27 years old. Palmer told Football League World, “It will be interesting to see. Joe just wants to play football.” “In my opinion, he would play regular first team football at a club like Wrexham because they recently received promotion.
Wrexham would be a terrific move for him, and I think it would see him receive more opportunities at first team football. He would be more of a squad player than a regular for teams like QPR and Birmingham, though I think both squads would benefit from having him.
Head coach John Mousinho stated that an announcement regarding his future with Pompey would be made closer to the start of the preseason. Although he called him a “fantastic” talent, he also stated that they had good reasons for passing on Morrell and Zak Swanson. Morrell will not be able to play in the preseason as he currently has a knee issue. Following surgery in early February, he has been sidelined and recovering at Pompey’s training camp.
