Window closes tonight with PNE still on lookout
Prestonboss Paul Heckingbottom admits it hasn't been easy identifying further striker targets.
The Lilywhites are looking to add to the squad before the transfer window closes at 7pm today.
PNE have made 11 signings this summer, with Aston Villa loan man Lewis Dobbin the latest recruit at Deepdale. Heckingbottom, though, has remained consistent over wanting a couple more fresh faces to boost his side's attacking options.
