Preparations are underway for Preston North End’s upcoming clash against Sheffield United on August 9th. The Lilywhites suffered a 3-0 defeat against Everton in their last pre-season match with goals from Calvert-Lewin, O’Brien, and Lindstrom. Manager Ryan Lowe faces a decision on players like McCann, Stewart, and Woodman, who are doubtful for the match.
Meanwhile, Championship teams are active in the transfer market. Leeds United’s offer for Jonathan Rowe was rejected by Norwich City, Cardiff City set a high asking price of £10m for Mark McGuiness, and four clubs, including Leeds and Norwich, are eyeing a loan move for Liverpool’s Bobby Clark.
Preston North End is pushing to secure a deal for Conrad Wallem from Slavia Prague ahead of their season opener with Sheffield United. Wallem is interested in moving to England, but his current club is hesitant to let him go.
Norwich are finalizing a deal to loan defender Callum Doyle, who will undergo a medical ahead of the season-long move. Having tracked him all summer, the club has successfully secured his signature from Manchester City. Doyle’s loan move is seen as the best option as the new season nears.
