Preston are interested in signing Arsenal talent Ryan Alebiosu – but face a battle with both Bristol City and Blackburn Rovers for his signature, Megasportsarena.com reports.
Alebiosu is a huge presence at 6ft 2in tall and he has shown in the Arsenal youth ranks that he isn’t afraid to bomb forward.
The Nigerian-born has also described his own defending style as ‘aggressive’ and admitted that he loves to get in behind defences and put crosses into the box.
One stat that will really encourage Preston fans is that Alebiosu racked up an impressive five assists in just 10 Premier League 2 games this season.
The 20-year-old went on loan to Crewe Alexandra in January and may now be ready to leave Arsenal for a permanent role elsewhere.
Signing young talents from Premier League clubs is something that Preston have moved away from in recent times but finding the next Callum Robinson or Ben Pearson – a player stuck in the reserves but ready for senior football – would be seen as ideal.
