The on loan Tottenham Hotspur defender will miss the rest of Portsmouth’s season through injury.
Portsmouth manager Kenny Jackett has admitted to being impressed by Anton Walkes, but does not yet know whether he will re-sign the Tottenham Hotspur loanee.
Walkes moved to Portsmouth on a deal until the end of the season in January, and played 12 times for the south coast club before having his campaign curtailed by injury earlier this month.
The 21-year-old right-back still has another year to run on his contract at Tottenham, but may be open to leaving his parent club for good if he is unable to dislodge positional rivals Kieran Trippier, Serge Aurier and Kyle Walker-Peters.
However, in quotes published by the Portsmouth News on Thursday, Jackett revealed that talks have yet to take place between Pompey and Spurs.
“I have been impressed with Anton, he has been good for us,” said the Welshman. “He is a good young man who has kept his head down and worked hard. I would think he’s got a lot out of the loan.
“Unfortunately the injury has ended his season, even so he has built on his arrival quite well showing good versatility. We will have to see (about signing him) in the summer. In two weeks we will have to see.
“We just have to finish our season strongly, there hasn’t been anything discussed yet. There’s no set fee, nothing has been approached yet or done. Anton has done well since he has been here so we’ll see what the window brings when it opens.
“We’ll see, it very much depends on his parent club, who would be in the driving seat obviously, and Anton the player himself. We will see in the summer.”
Jackett’s own Portsmouth future was called into question earlier this week, when the Daily Mirror reported that he is in contention for the Ipswich Town vacancy.
