Other clubs are in the hunt though for the front man who is set to return to Deepdale on January 1.

“We have looked at Eoin but I am guessing every manager in League One and the Championship has looked at him,” Alexander told the Scunthorpe Telegraph.

“We know of him and his talent is undoubted.

“However, he is someone else’s player so it is difficult to talk about him.

“He is a player out on loan at the moment and has done exceptionally well so I am guessing a lot of clubs will be interested in a player of that type.”
