Preston keeper Lonergan knows Spurs, Stoke are watching

Preston goalkeeper Andy Lonergan admits he could put himself in the Premiership shop window in today's FA Cup clash with Chelsea.

The 26-year-old's outstanding form has been attracting attention from Blackburn, Stoke, Tottenham, Bolton and Burnley, says The Sun.

Lonergan's ambition is to play in the top flight and keeping a clean sheet against the Premier League leaders would help him show he has what it takes.

He said: "I watched highlights of the match against Sunderland and their keeper did well to lose only seven.

"The Championship tends to be an end-to-end league, so I'm used to being busy. I expect it will be the same against Chelsea.

"The chance to prove myself against the very best is a huge challenge. I'm a perfectionist and even if I have what some might consider a perfect performance, I will find something that needs improving.

"I want to be the very best I can be, so facing some of the best in the world is a challenge I relish."
