Alfie Gilchrist is a player PNE are reportedly keeping tabs on this summer
Preston North End are supposedly tracking Chelsea youngster Alfie Gilchrist heading into this summer’s transfer window. According to reports, the defender is of interest to Lilywhites boss Ryan Lowe as he looks to improve his squad for next season’s Championship campaign. A loan move for the 20-year-old, who can operate at both centre-back and right-back, has been mooted. But North End aren’t the only ones apparently keen, with Blackburn Rovers and Leeds also admirers of the Londoner.
One of those came against PNE in this season’s FA Cup, with the defender starting the third-round game at Stamford Bridge that resulted in a 4-0 win for the hosts. He was substituted on 61 minutes and replaced by Thiago Silva as Chelsea ran out comfortable winners in the end. Gilchrist also made 11 Premier League appearances this season for the star-studded Blues, which emphasises his talent and the high-regard he’s held at at SW6.
