The Lancashire Post asked the Preston North End faithful - via social media - for one player they would sign for the Lilywhites this summer. Excluding the shout of Real Madrid and England star, Jude Bellingham, here are 12 names put forward by the Deepdale faithful...

9. Alex Pritchard - Birmingham City
The experienced midfielder forced his way out of Sunderland in late January and was swiftly picked up by old boss, Tony Mowbray, at Birmingham City. But, the Blues were relegated to League One. Pritchard played nine games for Birmingham and with Mowbray's future uncertain - due to health concerns - it remains to be seen whether he'll stick around at St Andrew's. | Alex Livesey

10. Michal Helik - Huddersfield Town
Huddersfield were also relegated and Helik will be a leading contender to get picked off. The 28-year-old has played 77 Championship games in the last two seasons and scored nine goals last season. Helik has one year left on his deal. | Matt McNulty/Getty Images

11. Tom Cannon - Leicester City
The loan star of 2022/23, time will tell how much Cannon features for Leicester City in the Premier League. Reports have already claimed that PNE and Blackburn Rovers would be keen on a loan move. | Getty Images

12. Dion Charles - Bolton Wanderers
Charles is from Preston, but could well be in the Championship next season if Bolton Wanderers beat Oxford in the play-off final. Across the last two seasons in League One, the 28-year-old has scored 33 goals. | Getty Images
