Ex-Sheffield Wednesday man terminates contract with Premier League club on transfer deadline day before joining Preston North End

He joined the club in the summer of 2019 and made 37 appearances in his first season as the Craven Cottage outfit were promoted to the Premier League. He started his career at Tottenham Hotspur, making his debut with the club in early 2015.

During his time with Spurs, he was sent on loan to Aston Villa and joined Sheffield Wednesday on loan in August 2018. He scored his first Fulham goal against Leeds in December 2019 and netted for the club in their play-off semi-final against Cardiff City in 2020.

His game-time in the Premier League was limited as Fulham were relegated but he played a key role in last season’s promotion. He has made two Premier League appearances this term.

He has found a new home at Preston and is eager to establish himself in the starting XI at Deepdale.

He said: “I can’t wait to start playing football again, to train with the lads, and this feels like a really homely environment, and I can’t wait to get started.

“I think at this stage of my career it’s very important [to play regularly] and I believe I can do that here with the players’ help and the gaffer. He’s spoken to me about it and he’s someone I trust, and I believe he can get me playing my best football.

“I’m someone who enjoys football and I believe if a manager shares that same interest then that’s something that will definitely persuade me to come. He’s told me his philosophy and everything he does, and that’s made me want to come.

“I feel like, for me, it’s a good opportunity to show what I’m capable of doing, and showing the world what I can do on the pitch. I want to just get back to playing and enjoying football really, so that’s what I’m looking forward to most.”
