  Preston to Sell Star Player ??
David Nugent,Preston North End's star player has been atracting interest from top Premiership clubs recently and Preston Manager Luke Mizzi seems to be ready to sell the forward. This decision seems to be an odd one by Preston's new manager but it is believed that Mizzi wants to have more money available to the squad. It is believed that Newcastle are ready to place a bid in the region of 7m. But it also believed that Reading are interested in the player.

They then took the lead once again a great goal by Sosa. Preston will play their last game on Saturday against Juventus
