Preston North End chairman Derek Shaw has ruled out the prospect of Sunderland winger Ross Wallace moving to Deepdale this summer.
Preston did enquire about the 23-year-old's availability but the player turned down the chance to move in to the Championship.
Shaw told the club's official website: "I can confirm that we made an offer for Ross Wallace which was accepted by the Sunderland board.
"However, we have received word back that Ross wants to fight for his place in the Sunderland side in the hope of maintaining his status as a Premier League footballer, which we can fully understand."
