Oxford United have identified Portsmouth forward Ellis Harrison as a potential transfer target, according to BBC South reporter, Andrew Moon.

The 27-year-old, who can play as a striker or on either wing, still has 12 months left on his current contract at Fratton Park, meaning the U’s would need to pay a transfer fee.

Capped by Wales at U21 level, Harrison netted four goals from 25 League One fixtures this season.

He joined Portsmouth in 2019 after one season at Ipswich, but the forward made a name for himself during seven years at Bristol Rovers.

During his time at the Memorial Stadium, Harrison played alongside U’s striker Matty Taylor and was part of the Gas side that win back to back promotions from the Conference to League One.

Oxford have already signed one player from Portsmouth after Ryan Williams became the club’s second addition of the transfer window with Marcus McGuane penning a permanent deal last month.
