Portsmouth want Cardiff-linked winger Ronan Curtis:

Boss wants target tied down


Portsmouth want Cardiff-linked winger Ronan Curtis tied down to a new deal as soon as possible.

Curtis has been a name long linked with the Bluebirds, but with managerial instability at Cardiff City Stadium right now, a move for the Republic of Ireland man appears to be down the list of priorities.

The 27-year-old is currently recuperating from a serious knee injury and Pompey boss John Mousinho admitted that will have to be factored into talks over his future.

Mousinho told the local press: "Talks are ongoing with Ronan. We wanted to focus on Ronan’s surgery and rehab over the back end of the season.

"He came in the back end of last week and we had discussions with Ronan and said, from my point view, what I think of Ronan and there will be a contract offer on the table.

"Then it’s down to the agent and football club to negotiate what that is.

"So that’s ongoing and I think Ronan has gone back to Ireland to spend a bit of time with his family. He’s there for a couple of weeks and that’s great, because he needs to be back there and his agent can take care of everything else.

"So hopefully we have a bit of good news over the next couple of weeks with Ronan."

He wouldn't cost us anything as he's out of contact at Portsmouth at the end of next month.
