Preston North End striker Emil Riis played his 100th game for the club on Saturday, in his side’s 2-0 defeat to Sheffield United.
21 of those goals came last season as Riis finished the club’s top scorer and hit the 20-goal marker for the first time. He was also the first player to hit 20 goals whilst playing in the second tier for PNE since Richard Cresswell in 2004/05, and the first since Ricardo Fuller the season before to net as many as 17 in the Championship.
He went into this season with renewed confidence after coming out of a tough spot since joining the club but has yet to really leave his mark on the campaign so far. The biggest mark he has left is probably not one he would have wanted, talk of a move away. Riis was linked with a move tothat was decribed by Lowe as distracting his star forward and with his game time so far this season a bit hit and miss, he was open to discussing a move to the Riverside.
