Preston North End want Crystal palace fullback Tayo Adaramola on season-long loan

NIGERIA-eligible teenage fullback Tayo Adaramola could be on his way to Preston North End next season as the English Championship side has become the latest club to express an interest in the defender.

Adaramola, 18, who has already featured for the Republic of Ireland's U21 side, is currently a Crystal Palace player but Preston want to have him on a season-long loan deal. Over recent weeks,  Adaramola has been linked with loan moves to Championship outfit Coventry City and League One side MK Dons.

Preston North End, however, are in the market for a left wingback and a move for Spaniard Xavi Quintilla fell through due to issues over a work permit for the Villarreal man. Adaramola has played non-stop at Crystal Palace since 2015, rising through the youth team ranks before he was handed his professional debut by manager Patrick Vieira in an Emirates FA Cup clash with Hartlepool United in February 2022.

A loan move would make sense for the 18-year-old as is behind Tyrick Mitchell in the pecking order of left-backs at Crystal Palace. Also, Joel Ward, Nathaniel Clyne and Nathan Ferguson can play in that position if the need arises, so Adaramola may need to go out on loan to get playing time.
