Ben Thompson became the latest additon to Pompey's squad on Friday.
The midfielder has joined on loan from Millwall for the rest of the season and revealed his excitement about joining the Blues.
And the Fratton faithful took to social media to welcome the 22-year-old to the south coast.
Welcome aboard, Ben. Will be part of the 18,000 members of the Blue Army cheering you on tomorrow

And Thompson comes highly recommended by the Millwall fans.
You lot have signed a class young midfielder. Will be a good player for us in the future. Was one of the main reasons we got promoted even when he was so young. Will shine under jackett! Millwall links etc
