All quiet on the Preston North End transfer front as Lilywhites head to Scotland

The Lilywhites won 8-3 against Bamber Bridge on Saturday in their opening friendly, the game moved to Euxton because of a waterlogged pitch at the Sir Tom Finney Stadium.

Sepp van den Berg and Liam Lindsay both featured in the game but fellow new signings Matthew Olosunde and Izzy Brown sat it out.

North End hope to announce soon the loan signing of goalkeeper Daniel Iversen from Leicester City, while a striker is on the wanted list.

Elsewhere in the Championship, there is still much business to be done. In general the market has been slow as clubs juggle finances after last season's empty stadiums and lack of revenue.
