Portsmouth are targeting a move for 25-year-old Ligue 2 striker Nesta Elphege in the January transfer window. John Mousinho is keen to bolster his options at striker before the window closes on February 2. The forward currently plays for Grenoble Foot. It is believed that the forward is rated at £1 million by Grenoble, and it is not yet known if the south coast outfit is willing to pay that to bring him from France. Portsmouth have reportedly identified the French-Cameroonian as an option due to his 6ft 5in size, and they are hoping he can provide the skills needed to significantly affect the team’s attacking threat. The Championship side have reportedly been conducting research on the player for months, and are now seeking a deal to bring him to English football. The striker has a contract with Grenoble until the summer of 2027, meaning there is no immediate need for the Ligue 2 side to sell him this month. In the 2025/2026 Ligue 2 season, Elphege has scored 4 goals and provided 3 assists in 16 appearances, and his current Transfermarkt market value is €500k.
