Transfer gossip: Portsmouth emerge as ‘most concrete option’ for left-back also wanted by Sheffield United

Portsmouth are reportedly leading the race to sign Lyngby BK left-back Renzo Tytens during the January transfer window. According to transfer specialist Rudy Galetti, Pompey have monitored the 20-year-old Belgian defender for two months and are emerging as the most concrete option for his signature, despite reported interest from Championship rivals Sheffield United and French club Toulouse.

Tytens, who joined the Danish club on a three-and-a-half-year deal in January, has made 14 appearances this season. Portsmouth head coach John Mousinho is exploring defensive reinforcements with regular left-back Connor Ogilvie sidelined indefinitely following two knee operations, leaving Brentford loanee Jayden Meghoma and Zak Swanson to fill the position.
