Preston North End are hopeful of completing the loan signing of Everton starlet Harrison Armstrong today, as per Mike Keegan.

Heckingbottom has been backed with a host of new signings this summer transfer window, and with just a matter of days left until the deadline, work is still going into new additions at Deepdale.

Among the players linked with a move to the Lancashire club has been Everton midfielder Harrison Armstrong. The teenager has not been short of admirers off the back of his fine Derby County loan, but Preston North End could be set to deal a blow to those keen.
Writing on X, reporter Mike Keegan has said that PNE are hopeful of getting a deal done for Armstrong today (Friday) as they look to see off competition for his signature.

It comes off the back of a fine outing against Mansfield Town in the Carabao Cup, in which he set up both goals in a 2-0 win.
