Jackett: No Pompey bid for Andrade
Andrade has trained with the Blues, although over a period of days rather than weeks.
He was also in the Westleigh Park stands to watch the reserves’ 2-1 defeat against Everton under-23s earlier this month.

Andrade is currently joint-top of the division’s scoring charts with nine goals – a position he shares with ex-Pompey striker Ryan Bird, who is now with Dartford.
And the Blues will continue to cast their eye over the Portuguese talent.
Jackett said: ‘We haven’t made any bids for Andrade.
‘Do I know who you mean? Yes I do. I would like to think I know all the top goalscorers around, definitely.
’Have we made a bid for him? No, that’s not the case.

The Blues have also cast their eye over striker Victor Adeboyejo in training. He is currently trialling at Chelsea.
