That was according to former Sunderland chairman Stewart Donald at the time.

Marquis, who is now from Portsmouth, is one of many players the Black Cats are considering as they seek to replace top scorer Josh Maja after his move to Bordeaux.

Fast forward two years and Pompey is looking to offload the 29-year-old striker who has made just four goals in 20 League One appearances this term.

The Portsmouth News, however, states that the Blues have not yet received any concrete interest in the forward being sold this month.

Pompey boss Danny Cowley is said to be desperate to change his options in the coming weeks, as he aims to make his team more competitive in the second half of the campaign – as well as planning ahead for next season. .

Much depends on the club’s ability to find a new home for the Marquis when it comes to his plans to do so but the market for the Marquis is not there yet.

The former Millwall striker has scored 63 goals in 117 appearances in all competitions for Portsmouth since joining the club in 2019.

The Marquis were recently offered Peterborough looking for a striker as they bid to stay in the Championship, but former Doncaster boss Darren Ferguson, was not interested in a deal.
