Preston North End have been quiet in the January transfer window, but manager Ryan Lowe has still been answering questions on possible business - both in and out.
The Lilywhites, so far, have sent Lewis Leigh out on loan to Crewe Alexandra - a move up the pyramid after his spell in the National League with Bromley. Elsewhere, Calvin Ramsay has returned to Liverpool - bringing his frustrating loan spell at Deepdale to an early end.
Rumours have been in relatively short supply too, given the fact Preston did the bulk of their business in the summer. Eight players were recruited by North End and further outgoings will play a part in any deals PNE do this month. So far, Isaac Hayden of Newcastle United is the main reported target for Ryan Lowe's side.
In case you've missed anything over the last few weeks, here is a recap of everything the Preston boss has had to say in his press conferences.
9. On whether Josh Seary and Noah Mawene could go out on loan
"Seary has actually been outstanding, all season. We will probably keep him around now, just in case. His training, and Mawene's - the two of them have been fantastic. So, the two of them will probably stay because there is no need for them to go out on loan really. Maybe next year, if that happens. But, as for now, they will probably stay with us because they are young kids - and they know their roles and responsibilities. They travel away as the spare men and know why they are the spare men. They are getting all of that experience, so yeah." | Preston World Copyright © 2023 CameraSport
10. On links to Manchester United's Dan Gore
"Dan Gore, midfielder, yeah I am aware of him. But, there is no concrete interest; we have got too many players at the moment. I do like him. He is a good player. Yeah, we do like him but he is not one for now - unless anyone moves out the door. He's probably one of six, seven, eight, nine, ten we'll be linked with..." Photo: Ash Donelon
