Preston North End have agreed a deal to sign Leicester City goalkeeper Daniel Iversen, sources have told Football Insider.
The 27-year-old will join on a free transfer imminently after a breakthrough in talks.
Iversen had two successful loan spells at Preston and is highly regarded at Deepdale.
Preston have moved to bring the Danish goalkeeper back to the club on a permanent basis following the exit of Freddie Woodman.
