Preston North End are reportedly plotting a transfer raid on Charlton Athletic as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the new Championship season. The Lancashire outfit are believed to be interested in signing Tyreece Campbell, a 22-year-old winger who has established himself as a key player for the Addicks. Campbell has scored 18 goals and provided 13 assists in 170 games for Charlton, and his future at the club is now uncertain after the arrival of Karlan Grant and Millenic Alli. According to journalist Alan Nixon, Campbell is on Preston's list of targets as they look to bolster their thin squad before the end of the transfer window. With just under two weeks to go until the start of the new season, there is still plenty of work for Preston to do in the transfer market. After spending £6 million on Alfie Devine, it is unclear whether the Lilywhites will also be able to afford a deal for Stanley Mills, while Crystal Palace are said to be keen to sell Romain Esse rather than sending him out on loan again. Campbell is a player with a lot of potential, and he showed glimpses of his ability in the Championship last season with Charlton. Preston have made two permanent signings this summer, with goalkeeper Lee Nicholls arriving from Huddersfield Town and midfielder Alfie Devine completing a club record £6 million move from Tottenham Hotspur. However, a number of senior names have departed Deepdale, including the likes of Jamal Lewis, Robbie Brady, Will Keane and Michael Smith, and captain Ben Whiteman is set to be the next high-profile name to head for the exit door. After Heckingbottom revealed that Whiteman informed him he had played his last game for the club, Wrexham are set to step up their pursuit of the midfielder, with their bid of up to £2.5 million expected to be accepted by the Lilywhites. As Preston prepare to lose their captain, it seems they may already be plotting how to use the funds from his sale, with the Lancashire outfit believed to be lining up a raid of one of their Championship rivals. The Championship season is set to kick off in just over a week, with Preston currently 35 points behind leaders Coventry. They will be looking to improve on last season's mid-table finish, and a strong transfer window could be key to their success. With just under two weeks to go until the start of the new season, there is still plenty of work for Preston to do in the transfer market.
