Portsmouth manager John Mousinho played alongside Whyte at Oxford United and said he was pleased to sign the "pacy and direct winger".

"Out of all the players we've signed, he's the first one that I actually played with and he's a great character," Mousinho told the club website., external

Yengi scored four goals in 18 appearances for Western Sydney Wanderers last season and Mousinho said he had caught his eye when the club explored options in the A-League.

"He's a really quick, powerful and physical centre-forward. He's an exciting prospect and we're delighted to bring him to the club," Mousinho added., external
