Former Portsmouth midfielder David Norris is hopeful that the club can re-sign Ben Thompson from Millwall.

Thompson spent the first half of the 2018-2019 season on loan at Fratton Park, scoring three goals and adding three assists which saw him become a popular figure with the Pompey faithful, who have been wanting him to return ever since.

However, the midfielder's excellent performances saw him become a key part of Millwall's side, although a hamstring injury suffered in December 2019 has stalled Thompson's momentum at The Den – with starts extremely hard to come by last term.

He started less than half of Millwall's Championship games last season, and the recent addition of George Saville won't have helped Thompson's chances of playing more regularly.

Dan Cowley has already been busy in the transfer window, bringing in six new faces, including Thompson's former Millwall teammate Shaun Williams, and Norris exclusively told Football FanCast that Thompson can be the next to come through the door at Fratton Park:

"Hopefully, with the other lad coming in, hopefully with the connection.

"On paper, it seems like it could, so hopefully that one would work."
