Portsmouth set to seal transfer for sixth summer arrival
The News understands the Blues are on course to land the Aussie international, with the deal now set to be sealed for the Central Coast Mariners man.
Everything currently remains in place for the 21-year-old to be confirmed as the sixth summer addition to John Mousinho’s squad, ahead of their Championship return.
News emerged of Farrell being lined up on Friday night, with Mousinho keen to add some dynamism to his left flank.
The expectation was a deal could be confirmed as soon as today, with the Socceroos under-23 international joining countrymen Kusini Yengi and loanee Sammy Silvera at Fratton Park.
Silvera is a former team-mate of Farrell’s at Central Coast Mariners, with the pair enjoying a huge amount of success with the A-League outfit.
Farrell won two penalties as a second-half substitute with Silvera also on the scoresheet, as their side thrashed Melbourne City 6-1 to win the championship in 2023.
After the winger’s departure to Middlesbrough last summer, Farrell picked up back-to-back grand final wins after a dramatic 3-1 extra-time triumph over Melbourne Victory in May.
