FA Cup finalists Portsmouth hope a new state-of-the-art training facility will help continue the club's progress on the field.
The site, which is in the Alver Valley in Lee-on-the-Solent. is proposed to have some 10 full-size pitches, as well as an indoor pitch for the Barclays Premier League club's Academy.
The main building - which will hold the changing rooms, medical facilities, a gymnasium, administration offices, refectory and media suite - has been designed by Richard Marshall, the architect behind Arsenal's training base at London Colney which is also used by the England team.
Portsmouth chief executive Peter Storrie said: "We are very excited about the new site which fits all the criteria for us to build a training facility any Premier League club would be proud of.
"The next stage is public consultation and we hope the community are as enthusiastic about the scheme as we are.
"Plans will be submitted within the next couple of weeks and, if it meets with approval, we could begin work by the late summer and complete the scheme before the start of the 2009-10 season."
Manager Harry Redknapp - whose side are currently seventh in the Premier League - added: "The club desperately needs its own training ground if we are to continue the progress we have made on the pitch over the last couple of seasons, so this is fantastic news.
"The plans for the pitches and the overall facilities look very impressive and it will make a great deal of difference to the players and our ability to keep attracting the very best to the club."
