Simon Grayson believes Manchester United's Will Keane ticks all the boxes for what the club are looking for, after securing the services of the striker on a season-long loan.
The 22-year-old scored three times in 13 appearances for Sheffield Wednesday last season, having previously failed to find the net in injury-disrupted spells with Wigan Athletic and Queens Park Rangers.But North End manager Grayson told the club's official website: "We are delighted to have signed Will. He has got fantastic movement and he is a goalscorer.
"He suffered a bad injury a few years ago, but he is hungry and after meeting him he ticks every box we are looking for.
"We have pulled off a bit of a coup beating several other Championship clubs to him and I do feel he is going to be a major asset to our squad."
Good luck to #WillKeane at Preston.. #WillScoreGoals đź‘Ś
