According to journalist Alan Nixon, Portsmouth are moving ahead of Blackburn Rovers for Liverpool left-back Luke Chambers. Portsmouth are pushing ahead in the effort for his signature. Liverpool have been told that a decision will be made shortly over where the 22-year-old will be heading next. Nixon reports that Portsmouth think they have the best chance of signing the defender. Chambers has been training with the Liverpool first-team squad but has not yet been given a shirt number for the 2026-27 season. The player was on loan with Charlton Athletic for the second half of the 2025-26 season.

Portsmouth have been mentioned as being interested in Liverpool's English left-back, Luke Chambers, and fellow Championship sides Blackburn Rovers and QPR have also been linked with the 22-year-old. However, QPR manager Julien Stephan has now reduced his club's interest in the player. According to a report by West London Sport, Stephan is content with his options at left-back following a recent signing. This development may create an opportunity for Portsmouth and Blackburn to pursue the defender, whose contract with Liverpool is set to expire next June. Chambers, who joined Liverpool in July 2022, has prior experience in the Championship, with 18 appearances and one assist in the division.
