Lånes fra Manchester City

Pompey håper unggutten Alex Robertson fra Manchester City er puslespillbrikken som mangler på Fratton Park.

NYHETER: Pompey har ikke lagt skjul på at de har jaktet en offensiv midtbanespiller som skal være 8eren John Mousinho har savnet i sitt lag. Nå har Pompey hentet den 20 år gamle australske midtbanespilleren Alex Robertson på lån fra Manchester City.

Robertson sier selv til Pompeys offisielle nettside:

“It feels great to be at such a big club and all the boys have really welcomed me on my first day here. My agent said that Pompey were interested, so I had a chat with John and Rich and it went well – hence why I’m sat here!

I can’t wait to get started. The ground and the fans are unbelievable and the gaffer played a big part in me joining. The way he presented how he wants the team to play really connected with me and now I just want to play a part in that.

“I can play anywhere in midfield, but more so as an attacking player. Hopefully I can get balls into our number nine, who’s so great in the air. I love to create and score goals, but I’m also happy to get stuck in and work hard for the team. That’s my nature.”

John Mousinhos kommentarer til signeringen av Robertson

«Alex is a dynamic attacking midfielder who comes here off the back of an excellent season with Manchester City’s under-21s. I was lucky enough to watch him play for them on a few occasions last season and he was an integral part of the side.

He’s won the title there three years in a row and also recently got his first cap for Australia, so we’re really excited that we’ve been able to bring him to the club. We wanted that eight/ten who is able to really affect games and it’s another piece of business that I’m incredibly happy with this summer.

I know that City have high hopes for him and he was involved in Pep’s matchday squads at the end of last season, which is no easy feat.”
