Released Crystal Palace forward Connor Wickham is chasing a deal with Preston North End.

Preston manager Frankie McAvoy has confirmed Wickham is training with the club.

“Connor is here so we are having a look at him," he said.

"That's where we are at the moment and we will see how he does.

"He's got good pedigree and so we would be stupid not to have a look at him, which is what we are doing."
