Scottish defender Clark Robertson is undergoing a Portsmouth medical this afternoon as he completes a free transfer, Football Insider understands.

The 27-year-old has attracted attention from Plymouth, Sunderland, Aberdeen and Fleetwood ahead of his Rotherham deal expiring this month.

A source has told Football Insider Portsmouth have now agreed terms with Robertson and he will become their second summer signing if he passes a medical.

The deal could be completed in the next 24 hours.

Pompey have already added teenage left-back Liam Vincent from National League side Bromley.

Danny Cowley is looking to build a side capable of earning promotion from League One after taking over from Kenny Jackett in March.

They finished in eighth-place last term, two points behind the play-off positions.

Robertson has experience of winning promotion from the division after playing 17 games in the curtailed 2019-20 campaign when Rotherham finished second on points-per-game.

He ended his three-year spell with the Millers with five goals and five assists in 69 games across all competitions.

Rotherham suffered relegation back to the third-tier last season as Robertson featured in 16 Championship games as he struggled with a foot injury.
