Portsmouth have signed Ebou Adams from Derby County on a two-and-a-half-year contract, with the deal reported to be worth £500,000. Adams joined the Rams in January 2024, making 89 appearances and scoring eight goals. The BBC reported that Adams has been a regular in Derby's side this year, playing in 23 of their 26 Championship games. Blues boss John Mousinho said that they are delighted to complete the deal and bring in a proven Championship player. He stated that Adams has performed to a high standard at this level over the past couple of seasons and is someone they have faced a number of times. Mousinho added that Ebou will provide a significant amount of energy and athleticism in midfield and that he is looking forward to working with him. He also mentioned that Adams was the club captain at Derby and has many leadership qualities, so they feel he is a significant addition to the squad. BBC Radio Solent's Portsmouth commentator Andrew Moon said that it is a position where Pompey have not had a settled pairing for much of the season. Moon also said that Adams brings experience of a successful Championship relegation battle with Derby last year and that in some ways it is surprising they are willing to let him go.
