‘It’s going to be interesting’: Portsmouth chief’s revealing insight as he drops transfer window hint

The transfer window opens in just over a week with the Pompey chief today offering his view of how business will unfold – and maybe a clue about his club’s activity.

It’s now just over a week until the shutters come up on the window on June 1, with a slightly different dynamic to how things will run this year.

The Fifa window runs from June 1 to June 10, with an ‘exceptional registration window’ to benefit teams competing in the Fifa Club World Cup.

With the window allowed to be open for a maximum 89 days it then re-opens on June 16 and runs until 7pm on September 1 – with the timeline being mirrored for EFL clubs.

Last summer it was 15 Pompey new faces brought in, with the previous year 14 recruited ahead of the League One title-winning season.

Cullen feels it will be another brisk period, but not one to match previous years in terms of volume.

He said: ‘It’s going to be an interesting summer I think, though we don’t have to do the same volume of players we did last year.

‘For us last year it was a bit different.
