And despite Danny Cowley swooping for Norwich youngster Gassan Ahadme, who bagged a double against the Robins, Harrison is determined to be part of Pompey's plans.

The ex-Bristol Rovers forward told The News: ‘I haven't focused on anything else if I'm being honest.

‘I'm contracted to Portsmouth and have just come back from injury. My main aim is to get fit and nothing else.

‘I've been looking at Portsmouth and looking at myself. I'm settled with my missus and the baby loves it down here.

Harrison arrived at Pompey from Ipswich Town for a fee of around £450,000 in the summer of 2019.

In total, he has made 70 appearance­s for the Blues, scoring 16 goals.

Harrison has one year remaining on his current contract.
