Honesty is Hecky's policy on transfer state of play

Preston boss Paul Heckingbottom has expanded on the club's state of play in the transfer market.

- 

In last week's pre-match press conference, the PNE boss explained how the Lilywhites are limited to 'frees and loans' in the rest of the window. The signing of Alfie Devine, on loan from Spurs, followed one day later.

Heckingbottom's comments, though, came as a surprise and sparked plenty of comments from the Deepdale faithful-given the reports of seven-figure bids being submitted for Callum Lang and Richard Kone over the last month or so.
