Blackburn Rovers and Bristol City close in on deals for ex-Preston North End forwards
Former PNE loanees heading for pastures new.
Two ex-Preston North End attackers are set to join fellow Championship sides this summer, according to reports.
Alan Nixon says Daniel Jebbison is heading to Lancashire rivals Blackburn Rovers, while Polish journalist Piotr Kozminski claims Sam Greenwood is joining Bristol City.
Jebbison - who scored six goals in 40 appearances last season for Paul Heckingbottom’s side - looks to be leaving Bournemouth on loan again and heading to Ewood Park. However, there is reportedly an option to buy included in the deal. The Canadian has been linked to several clubs in recent days but it appears Blackburn have secured his services.
Elsewhere, Kozminski - among others - is reporting that Greenwood is swapping Polish Ekstraklasa side Pogon Szczecin for Ashton Gate. The ex-Leeds forward made 45 appearances for North End in the 2024/25 campaign and scored on seven occasions.
He moved to Poland last August for a reported £3.4m but, after a disappointing season abroad and a desire to return to English football, he is set to sign for Bristol City with two years of his Pogon contract left. Sky sources in Italy say the Robins will pay £2m plus add-ons.
Blackburn had also been linked with Greenwood but reports on Monday claimed their offer fell short of Pogon’s asking price.
