Wrexham are considering a late January move for Portsmouth midfielder Terry Devlin as recruitment discussions continue behind the scenes.
Sources indicate Devlin is one of several profiles being assessed as Wrexham look to strengthen their midfield options before the window closes.
While no bid has been lodged, interest is live and internal conversations are ongoing rather than exploratory.
Wrexham have repeatedly shown a willingness to move late in the window when squad needs become clearer, particularly if availability shifts elsewhere.
Devlin’s value lies in his adaptability and output.
The 21-year-old has featured primarily as a central midfielder this season but has also filled in at right-back when required.
Across League One this campaign, Devlin averages over 2.6 tackles per 90, wins possession more than 5 times per 90, and ranks well for duals won among Portsmouth’s midfield options, according to Opta.
For Wrexham, who prioritise athleticism and tactical discipline in central areas, the profile fits.
Portsmouth remain in a strong position. Devlin is under contract and has played a regular role in Mousinho’s squad rotation, particularly during congested periods.
Any move at this stage would require Portsmouth to be convinced both financially and practically. With limited time remaining in the window, replacing a reliable squad player would not be straightforward.
That reality significantly raises the bar for any late approach.
If Wrexham decide to accelerate their interest, clarity will be essential. A tentative bid is unlikely to progress talks, especially given Portsmouth’s promotion push and lack of urgency to sell.
As it stands, Devlin is a name under consideration rather than a deal in motion. Whether that changes before deadline day will depend on how aggressively Wrexham choose to act — and whether Portsmouth see value in engaging at all.
