Portsmouth boss John Mousinho says he is hoping to still bring in "at least two" more signings before Monday's transfer deadline.

The Blues have signed four players this month, two loans and two permanent, as they prepare for the final months of the season in which they will hope to remain a Championship side.

"We feel pretty good about the position we're in (with transfers)," Mousinho told BBC Radio Solent.

"There's a lot of positivity but it is one of those where I think you will see a lot of activity and movement over the next few days moving up until the close of the window.

"We don't have an exact number in terms of incomings but there will be I think hopefully at least two if we can get them done then great, we're just keeping it open and flexible."

The Blues are just two points above the relegation zone in 21st place but despite their current precarious position above the bottom three, Mousinho feels there is no need for panic.

"I don't think it is going to be make or break for us with signings," Mousinho added.

"We have shown that we can be competitive and mix it with good sides, we want to strengthen and we want to be better coming out of the window than we went in.

"If we can get the signings that we want then we'll be in a great position, there's still a bit of scope for movement in the squad with ins and outs."

One recent blow for Portsmouth was news of in form full-back Jordan Williams picking up an injury.

The 25-year-old was having a scan on his injured hamstring on Wednesday.
