Preston Closing In On Midfield Signing

26 July 2010 13:09
Darren Ferguson has stressed that he would liek three more signings prior to the start of the season and he is very close to completing one of those. With injuries to Davidson, Parkin and Brown, Ferguson had only 12 fit professionals available for Saturday's match against Everton with the rest of the squad made up from the youth team. Matty James was away on England duty whilst Wayne Henderson is out with a recurrence of his back injury. Ferguson has hinted that he is very close to signing a midfielder and it is thought to be Darrell Russel who left Norwich at the end of last season and was in the stands for the Rovers game. Preston will also be waiting for news on Danny Wellbeck whenhe returns from United's pre-season tour to see if he is going to sign for Fulham or if North End can snatch him for a full season at Deepdale.
