Preston manager Ryan Lowe has confirmed the club wants to sign Aston Villa striker Cameron Archer for another loan spell.
Lowe said that Preston are in the market for two new signings in the window when it opens next week.
"We know what Cam brings and once we've heard he's available I'm sure the communication can start," he said.
Lowe told BBC Radio Lancashire: "We've just got to keep tight lips and get on with it. Cam is not the only target of course, but we have to make sure we do the right things by them and sometimes it's unfair to talk about whether players have been given the green light or not.
