Transfer gossip: Portsmouth boss preparing raid for Huddersfield defender

The Blues defender is said to be keen on signing the left-back for a third time, as he gets stuck into a summer overhaul at Pompey.

Toffolo moved to the Terriers from Lincoln in 2020 and the 25-year-old made 31 appearances in the Championship last season.

The former Norwich man has a year remaining on his existing agreement and would command a fee, with Cowley also needing to convince the marauding talent to step down a division.
