Portsmouth release FIVE players including former Arsenal star after securing Championship survival
PORTSMOUTH have announced the departures of five players after securing Championship survival.
Cohen Bramall, Tom Lowery, Alexander Milošević, Anthony Scully and Kusini Yengi are all set to leave Fratton Park.
Meanwhile, loan stars Adil Aouchiche, Rob Atkinson, Kaide Gordon, Isaac Hayden, Freddie Potts and Mark O’Mahony will return to their parent clubs.
On the exits, Portsmouth head coach John Mousinho said: “We would like to thank all those players leaving the club for their service and wish them nothing but the best for the next stage of their careers.
“Kusini played a massive part in our memorable League One title success just over a year ago, while Anthony and Tom are both model professionals who I enjoyed working with greatly.
“Cohen provided genuine competition at left-back after arriving in January, while Alexander offered vital defensive cover at a time we really needed it.
“I would also like to thank Sunderland, Bristol City, Liverpool, Newcastle, West Ham and Brighton for loaning us their players, all of whom had a role to play in securing our Championship status.”
Bramall joined Portsmouth for an undisclosed fee in January and signed a six-month deal.
But the 29-year-old’s contract has not been extended beyond this summer.
Following spells with several non-league clubs, Bramall was signed by Arsenal in 2017 and went on to make 21 appearances for the club’s Under-23s.

He did not earn a senior appearance for the Gunners.
The defender spent a season on loan at Birmingham before joining Colchester United in a permanent transfer in 2019.
Bramall has since played for Lincoln, Rotherham and Pompey.
Meanwhile, Lowery joined Portsmouth from Crewe Alexandra in 2022 but spent the last five months on loan at his former club.
Milošević completed a short-term move to Fratton Park in March and now already finds himself without a club again.
Scully, who spent the 2024-25 season at Colchester, is also among the players set to be released at the end of their contracts.
And Yengi will also depart after two years at Portsmouth.
