Pompey has decided to explore other options rather than pursue a move for Altrincham attacker Chris Conn-Clarke, as per sources. The 22-year-old Northern Ireland under-21 international had an impressive season, scoring 23 goals and providing 12 assists for his National League team.
Despite fitting the profile of players who have thrived at Pompey under sporting director Rich Hughes, the club is not actively working on signing Conn-Clarke. Head coach John Mousinho is looking to bolster his attacking options following several departures from the League One title-winning squad.
Multiple clubs, including Wigan, Peterborough, Ipswich, and Mansfield, have shown interest in the talented forward. However, reports suggest that Altrincham is holding out for an offer that matches their valuation of Conn-Clarke.
Altrincham’s director of football, Rob Esteva, stated that they will only consider selling the player if the valuation is met. Despite the potential departure of their key asset, Esteva remains confident in the team’s attacking prowess for the upcoming season.
With two years left on his contract, Conn-Clarke’s future remains uncertain as clubs continue to monitor his situation.
