Preston North End seek Iain Turner replacement

Phil Brown's Preston are 11th in League One

Preston manager Phil Brown says he is looking to strengthen his squad in the loan market after first-choice goalkeeper Iain Turner broke his foot.

The 27-year-old suffered the injury in training weeks after returning to action following a broken toe.

Brown told BBC Radio Lancashire: "It was purely a training ground accident and he's possibly going to be out for another month if not longer.

"Unfortunately we're now looking at bringing a goalkeeper in."

Brown continued: "He will compete for a place with Andreas Arestidou. We are looking to bring a striker in to provide a little bit of help for Juvhel Tsoumou before the other boys [Neil Mellor, Iain Hume and Jamie Proctor] come back."

Arestidou, 21, is set to return to the North End line-up at Charlton this weekend and Brown says he has earned the right to get the nod after impressing in a seven-match run earlier in the campaign.

He said: "I now class him as a number one. Prior to that I couldn't have said that.

"He never played a game last season in the Championship and was always either on the bench or third choice.

"It's been a steep learning curve for Andreas, making seven appearances this season and doing very well."
