Preston looking to bring in striker from Premier League club ahead of transfer deadline

Preston North End are still working on trying to add more attacking quality to their squad ahead of tonight’s 11pm transfer deadline.

The Lilywhites have been in talks with a Premier League club about doing a loan deal for a striker and hope that can bear fruit before the cut-off.

Beyond tonight’s deadline, North End will continue to run the rule over striker Connor Wickham.

The 28-year-old has been training at Euxton for the past week or so in a bid to earn a contract.
