Leicester City's season concluded at AFC Bournemouth on Sunday and the Dane can now put the finishing touches on a permanent return to Deepdale.

His contract expires with the Foxes this summer and PNE have agreed a deal to bring the shot-stopper back to Lancashire.

It is expected Iversen will complete his medical this week, before going away on holiday.

Goalkeeper was a key position for Preston to address this summer after Freddie Woodman's exit upon the expiry of his contract.

The former Newcastle United man was PNE's No.1 for three years and Iversen will now take on that responsibility.

He needs no introduction to the North End faithful, having been hugely popular during his 18 months on loan at Deepdale.
