Portsmouth FC has signed midfielder Andre Dozzell on a one-year deal with an option for a second, bolstering their squad ahead of their Championship opener against Leeds United. The 25-year-old, who was released by QPR after making 98 appearances, brings valuable Championship experience and technical ability to the team. Portsmouth's head coach, John Mousinho, expressed confidence in Dozzell's potential to succeed at the club, noting that he chose Portsmouth over other options. Despite this signing, Mousinho indicated that the club is still looking to strengthen their midfield further. The team has faced challenges during pre-season, prompting a focus on being fully prepared for their upcoming match. Dozzell is expected to compete for a starting position alongside other midfielders as they aim for a strong season start.
