"The Blues’ interest in the player is long held and it was only nine months ago the club were within a whisker of getting a deal over the line, with things so advanced discussions over how to announce his arrival on social media were aired."

That article was in 2021 ... 3 years after he went back to Millwall when they would not sell him.
It was a reflection of the sentimental affection Pompey fans had for him after his loan spell all those years before, but the simple fact was that he was not that same player by then and Cowley signing him in 2021 would have been a mistake.
