Portsmouth have signed French forward Florian Bianchini on a season-long loan from fellow Championship club Swansea City.

Bianchini, 24, scored three goals in 38 appearances for Swansea last season after joining from French club Bastia for about £2m in August 2024.

He managed only eight league starts in his debut campaign at Swansea.

Bianchini was brought into the Welsh club to play as a winger, but ended up being deployed primarily as a striker.

He is under contract at Swansea until 2028.
