PNE desperately need to add more attacking talent ahead of the transfer window slamming shut on Friday night.
Will Keane has been impressive this season but is pretty much leading the line on his own right now.
Layton Stewart isn’t ready for Championship action whilst Emil Riis and Ched Evans are still coming back from injury.
Tom Cannon has been the top target but hopes of bringing the Everton striker back to Deepdale have been fading in recent days.
North End fans are living in hope rather than expectation at this point but one intriguing rumour has emerged in recent days.
Spanish website El Desmarque claim that PNE are keen to bring Cadiz striker Milutin Osmajic to Lancashire this week.
It’s stated that Stoke City, Hellas Verona and CSKA Moscow are also interested in signing Osmajic before the transfer deadline.
The 24-year-old represents an interesting option having scored eight times in 35 games on loan at Portuguese top-flight side Vizela last season.
Montenegro international Osmajic doesn’t appear to be in the Cadiz plans but the Spaniards aren’t just giving him away.
Spanish newspaper Diario de Cadiz report that Cadiz have now rejected two offers for Osmajic.
It’s unclear just who has made those bids but the interest from PNE and Stoke make it fairly likely that at least one of the offers came from an English club.
Cadiz are expecting another offer and would like to sell Osmajic, but won’t rule out keeping hold of him.
Osmajic, who has just one year left on his contract, would be a fascinating signing for PNE and he will be a name to keep close tabs on in the coming days.
